Pros

Free bananas. You will appreciate much more all your past and future work places.

Cons

Awful culture, and you are expected to work long hours. No sick days. Few vacation days, and you are expected not to use them. The CEO likes to visit the cubicles after 7 pm, to see who's working and who has already left. Working long hours is more important than actual performance.

Pros

Nothing per se. Located in good cities, San Jose, Irvine and Carlsbad. Everything else doesn't matter. Tried hard but cannot think of any.

Cons

Pathetic management with unrealistic expectations. Please do not end up here. Totally immature managers trying to climb up the ladder at the cost of employees.
