Pros

403(b) retirement fund is pretty good. You are vested after two years of service.

Cons

Management talks down to you as if you don't matter. This is not the place if you are a diverse individual. Extremely poor work-life balance.

Pros

Great coworkers to be around, great benefits, work-life balance was perfect before the middle management layoffs. Collaborating with teams is constant and helpful for the design process.

Cons

They cut the research team, relying on designs to take on that plus end-to-end products, which leaves to heavy work loads and late nights. Deadlines are rather quicker than usual since the reorg.
