Pros

You will be surrounded by people who are absolutely brilliant. Your bosses and tech leads care very much about your success as an individual. I never felt any animosity towards my colleagues and always felt like upper management really cared about me.

Cons

Crunch time in the labs is an absolute killer. I did four 100+ hour weeks in a row to get a product out to launch in my last year and it destroyed me. I never felt as smart as my peers. They never talked down to me, but I always felt less educated and less capable.

Pros

Intelligent people in technical leadership. Long history supporting new innovation and encouraging new ideas. Company is growing at a healthy pace. My team had very little interference from middle management. That was not the case for the majority of engineering teams in the company. Specifically the Austin office (where I worked) was a great atmosphere for learning and taking technical risks.

Cons

Middle management is a cancer. Too many low performers who never seem to leave the company. There is very little cooperation between teams and almost none between business organization. Software is not shared. Bonuses are small.
