Pros

The place is loosely managed and you may have an opportunity to work on significant project by fluke. You could gain considerable amount of experience because of that.

Cons

The place is chaotic. (probably true for any consumer electronic company) Everyone is an individual contributor essentially, so most of the time, your managers don't have good understanding of what/how you're doing. The promotion is very difficult to come by. Internal politics are quite ugly. HR can't help you at all.

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
