Pros

People are genuine, managers are very helpful. They always are looking out for your future position. Team building activities can be fun also!

Cons

Can be "stuffy" at times. Some employees only look out for themselves so that can get frustrating. Corporate red tape is tough to navigate.

Pros

Great brands, great training for marketing. Established processes in place. Exceptionally smart and talented people all around you.

Cons

Extremely competitive, to the point of it being self defeating. People aren't set up to succeed, and expected to make it all happen - that's their way of cultivating their idea of the 'best' people.

Pros

The free food is a nice perk.

Cons

As a technician you do the majority of the product development without the credit. You are viewed as the lowest on the todum poll and many people will let you know you are. Credit is never assigned to the person who originally developed it. Also, technicians are very underpaid here.
