Pros

Some of the cutting edge stuff used in development, if you get to work on it. Fancy food on the 3rd floor cafe, if that's important to you. Flex work hours.

Cons

Poor vision. Poor inter/intra team communications. Lack of cross team coordination, Lack of accountability. Release dates are picked seemingly arbitrarily and discarded easily without a second thought. Aggressive schedules often lead to inferior product, that supposedly gets pushed to a phase 2 schedule, which never pans out. Usually phase 2 involves a re-architecture. Managers do not provide any feedback(positive or negative), Employees are on the edge most of the time, Information sharing is not encouraged, employees avoid sharing, seemingly it provides them job security.

Pros

The environment is very laidback. The people in general are very nice and as an Intern I was allowed to sit in a lot of meetings. Interns also have an opportunity for real work experience rather than making copies, answering phones etc. There is a cafe now on the third floor which makes getting lunch convenient. The patio on the 3rd floor has an amazing view of Los Angeles.

Cons

Interns are unpaid and there are cliques in the workplace.
