Pros

independent work environment, exciting and forward thinking products. Very casual environment with senior management. Being a relatively young person, I've found my management tree has been very good about compensating good work, regardless of age.

Cons

I've found some employees in parallel organizations (such as the EPM's) to be overstaffed, overpaid, egotistical and incompetent while at the same time, certain teams in in more technical areas have been grossly understaffed and underpaid. The environment is very fast paced in some of the higher profile teams, and thus people tend to burn out

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
