Pros

The breadth of opportunity across cutting edge technology in sound and now vision, the incredible talent from star researchers to driven product innovation specialists, and all round great engineering, also a positive and supportive culture. This is a growing company with a solid background, and over 50 years' history of transformational technology innovation and reinvention.

Cons

The functional diversity in the Sydney office could be a bit greater, with minimal business oriented functions here, however the daily close collaborative practice with other offices that have people working in these roles makes up for this gap.

Pros

Great work/life balance: the only Bay Area Hi-Tech Company still offering 9/80 schedule (or alternative Friday off, only Oil and Gas industry offers that nowadays). Good benefits designed towards long-term employee retention. Very low attrition rate.

Cons

Company lack of decision or slow in decision. Accountability very low. Not very good at executing outside licensing business, especially hardware.
