Pros

Many of the people are great to work with, and the benefits are fantastic—like working for an old blue-chip company rather than a nonprofit.

Cons

Management is inconsistent. There is an "in-crowd" who never gets in trouble, and there is an out-crowd that gets cleaned out for the new restructuring fad. Rules change all the time, and the whole racket seems to just support upper management's income.

Pros

Great coworkers to be around, great benefits, work-life balance was perfect before the middle management layoffs. Collaborating with teams is constant and helpful for the design process.

Cons

They cut the research team, relying on designs to take on that plus end-to-end products, which leaves to heavy work loads and late nights. Deadlines are rather quicker than usual since the reorg.
