Pros

Really interesting projects, motivated and clever people. Strong 360 degree feedback culture which encourages collaboration. Lots of encouragement to work on new ideas and technologies. Great support for diversity and inclusion - better than any other engineering firm I've worked at.

Cons

Continuous arguments over properly resourcing projects, instead expecting teams to pick up the slack (there is no slack). This leads to my next point: Some of the products are really not great quality and it's hard to feel proud of them. Too much bureaucracy building up in an organization which used to encourage new ideas and risk-taking. Metrics around people management that can be used in cruel and nonsensical ways to force good people out.

Pros

Strong engineering talent and technically capable peers. Historically offered opportunities to work on large-scale consumer devices with real production impact. Ownership culture at the team level — engineers are often trusted to drive complex cross-layer initiatives. Good exposure to platform systems, device-to-cloud integration, and large fleet operations.

Cons

Over the past few years, frequent leadership changes and repeated organizational reorgs created uncertainty in long-term technical direction. Compared to earlier years, there are fewer net-new greenfield initiatives, with more focus on sustaining and maintaining legacy programs. Shifting priorities and evolving reporting structures can make roadmap continuity and long-term architectural planning more challenging.
