      Pros

      best part of the job is every other friday off

      Cons

      it takes 25 people on a committee to make every small decision, so weird. not a marketing driven co. the markting dept is a disaster-onstant change and they hire $$$$$ consultants to tell them what to do but then have no money to execute it!? they have consultants leading the mktg dept-so strange. seems like they cant figure out how to market the company or what are the right marketing budgets are.

      Pros

      Amazingly talented engineers, 9/80 work schedule (every other Friday off), Excellent benefits, brilliant products

      Cons

      Too top heavy, and getting more-so. Seems every new hire is a Director. Not enough "worker bees." Company is weak in Marketing. Some programs lack focus and direction changes every 6 months. Company pays seasoned pros to know the market, the customer and the competitive environment... and then ignores the input they receive from their front line folks. Seems to be more focused on high visibility promotions and associations ("Dolby Theater") than might be best for the overall company.
