Pros

The company seems interested in the well-being of its employees. 1275 Market street is a brand new building with many amenities. 9-80 work week gives employees an extra weekday to enjoy. Never pressured to work overtime. Flexible hours. Truly the leader in the audio space. Many 30+ year employees with lots of experience to share.

Cons

Not at the bleeding edge of software development (most development is in C). Old school methodologies and software development philosophies are hard to budge at times. Not many young engineers.
