Pros

It's easy to get an interview and subsequently hired. The job itself isn't challenging and you will find good friends. You get some good discounts and have on-site medical care. Relocation is paid.

Cons

Pay just above minimum wage, bare minimum of holidays that you have to go through a lot of bureaucracy to get approved. Making it as difficult as possible to give feedback but when you do state "thanks for your feedback" and do nothing about it. You will only get promoted and/or recognised if management likes you. If not, you could invent the next iPhone and you'll never get anywhere. Often dirty and smelly facilities. A lack of innovation and a tendency to do things over and over again without implementing feedback that has been given by hundreds of people for years. Poorly trained advisors due to high fluctuation trying to be "supervisors" leading to nobody really knowing what they are doing.

Pros

We work with geniuses - in every department, We create innovative products that thrill our customers and create new product categories - who else can say that?

Cons

ZERO ZERO ZERO work/life balance. Execs have been saying for YEARS that they understand and will make it better. But in actuality, it gets worse every year! It is obviously top management LIP SERVICE because if they meant it, they could fix it tomorrow. They have hundreds of BILLIONS in the bank. If they REALLY cared about employee work/life balance, they could bring aboard the right number of folks to make that issue dissolve. Sick of hearing the lies. Just don't lie about wanting to fix it, when they clearly DON'T care
