Pros

overall great people, friendly and intellectual. mostly low drama. allows me to flex as needed and 9/80 schedule. working on product that will be live for many years in 1B+ devices is satisfying.

Cons

parts of strategy can be mysterious or indecisive at times. sometimes feels that the BGs behave like they are separate companies.

Pros

9/80 schedule but it won't be pleasant experience

Cons

Engineering talent is severely lacking. HR/recruiting flat out stinks. Don't let thetechnology fool you, they're mainly recycling the work of pass smarter engineers and living off their creations. Many of them and HR are flat out useless AND not particularly "nice" people you'd want to be stuck in the office with 9/80 ...as if you job applicants don't already notice.

Pros

stock options, every other friday off

Cons

PR team fluffing Glassdoor reviews-unethical! Mktg Dept. is constant reorg. Every 2 years mktg reorgs. 3 CMOs in 7 years. Industrial Designers head up Graphic Design Dept. CEO is clueless about Mktg.
