Pros

You get paid to be a geek all day. You get to play with and learn about electronics. Your will get along with your coworkers because they all have the same interests as you.

Cons

The pay is terrible. So are the requirements for you to be available. Good luck finding a 2nd job. You are expected to push expensive HDMI cables even though the cheap ones are just as good

Pros

Great salary , bonus and RSUs

Cons

Management still thinks of products as projects and doesn't fund appropriately. Some areas are ahead in tech, some areas aren't. Too many ex-Accenture VPs and up. Hard to promote junior employees, yet VPs/ SVPs promoted frequently. DO BOTH. Weird communication across pyramids.
