Pros

Bright and witty colleagues. Faced paced environment with a start up mentality. Cafeteria food is good.

Cons

Lack of information sharing between functional groups. Treatment of suppliers is atrocious. Intense politics and intra-company competition undermines morale. Lack of accountability when something goes awry. Finger pointing abounds at this place. Upper management is aloof and they often only make appearances to turn up the heat when a deadline is about to be missed.

Pros

We work with geniuses - in every department, We create innovative products that thrill our customers and create new product categories - who else can say that?

Cons

ZERO ZERO ZERO work/life balance. Execs have been saying for YEARS that they understand and will make it better. But in actuality, it gets worse every year! It is obviously top management LIP SERVICE because if they meant it, they could fix it tomorrow. They have hundreds of BILLIONS in the bank. If they REALLY cared about employee work/life balance, they could bring aboard the right number of folks to make that issue dissolve. Sick of hearing the lies. Just don't lie about wanting to fix it, when they clearly DON'T care
