Pros

The employees I worked with were great. Other than that there were truly and honestly no pros whatsoever at this company.

Cons

very short breaks, minimal pay, such awful management, no sense of team, little to no benefits or holidays, very very toxic work place, getting scolded on a daily basis

Pros

I'm new and enjoy it so far. It's a fun environment and the people are friendly. It's exciting to work with new products like the smartwatch, 3d printer, and smartglass. I'm enjoying learning about the products and company.

Cons

It's a little bit of a commute for me, but I plan to move closer.

Pros

In this company you will grow. Your skill sets will go from 1 to 100. This is a large operation and there is a lot going on. In marketing, there is social media outreach, trade show events, video production, model photography, promotional events and communication with top brands in the world (facebook, amazon, groupon, bestbuy, etc.). There is not many "dull" moments. There is no "Micro-Managing" - this means you have a list of responsibilities and how and when you get them done is up to you. Products are definitely exciting and customer base is generally young and upbeat.

Cons

I see three negative reviews here submitted on same date from same intern position. Usually, people who complain are ex-interns who were not hired for employment. Sorry...only the best get to stay. Tip: If you are an intern or new hire, try your best to make a good impression. This is a multi-national company with over 400 employees...employees and management expect you to be professional and follow general work ethics. Here are some things NOT to do: Falsifying your qualifications, sneaking out of the office early and hoping no one will find out, blackmailing management to hire you or you won't finish the project, mixing personal issues with what you are supposed to be doing. And finally, if you don't get the job offer, be professional. This is NOT the type of company you can BS your way in. You don't get paid to sit. If you don't want to work and don't enjoy what you are doing, I highly recommend, you look elsewhere.
