Pros

Relatively good benefits for full time employees. Salary is OK, not great - definitely not proportional to the unstated amount of physical labor one endures on the job.

Cons

They will suck you dry: - no respect for your time - must work on godforsaken hours, ex. 1:30 to 10:30PM with no weekends off - must stand ALL day long - majority of other Geniuses have joint problems - no balance between respect for employee professional needs and need to satisfy customers - most of the time "bad" customers are rewarded for tantrums and the like, often at the expense of employee's time, effort, and dignity - very little potential for professional development - you're better off investing a year or two developing your coding and network skills and working for an IT company

Good colleagues, supportive team environment, strong engineering culture, and good opportunities to learn and grow technically.

Cons

A fast-paced work environment can sometimes create high pressure, priorities may shift frequently, and work-life balance can be challenging during peak project cycles.

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
