- Laid-back environment (40-50 hr wk weeks the norm) - Easy for over-achievers to get ahead - Ability to see and work with hardware is a plus - Decent benefits

Cons

- A lot of unenthused employees waiting to retire - It seems as if the company is taking every effort to downsize the Sunnyvale campus - Not a lot of future work - Work culture is adverse to change or innovation
