Pros

Great offices. Beautiful industrial design. Brushed aluminum everywhere. Literally aluminum couches. Time to do your own thing a lot. Everyone is interesting and talented. Don't care about your gpa or school all about how well you interview.

Cons

The couches get cold since they are made out of aluminum. The reviews are not frequent enough and therefore when you get feedback it can be a surprise. Everything comes from the top down not a lot of ideas being suggested you make your way up and then you earn the right to tel others what to do.

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
