Pros

Good benefits for full-time employees. Depending on the part of the business you're associated with, it can be a fun place to work. The products can be really good, as long as there is proper Quality Control measures and adequate training in place.

Cons

On the manufacturing side, there appears to be a complete disconnect between management and their employees. There appears to be a lot of favoritism and politics within the management ranks. This dissuades and/or prevents those of us who don't wish to take part in such an atmosphere from actually seeking any sort of career growth. The hours are long and tedious with sudden and ridiculous schedule changes, proving there is a complete disregard to work/life balance. While it's expected to work these type of hours during the holiday season, the schedule fluctuates to an extent that completely disrupts any attempts to have this work/life balance.

Pros

quite dynamic, with teams cover front end/middle ware, back end. I works on the back end side. My team has been quite stable and we have the flexibility to test with new technologies in some projects.

Cons

Tech and engineer is not as important as most high tech companies in bay area. Company management seems a little more complicated/layered than necessary

Pros

Some very smart and dedicated people. Good culture. Excellent products that makes customers happy. Decent pay and benefits (with some exceptions, see below).

Cons

Highly political environment. Benefits slowly but surely deteriorated. No 401K matching. Smart people already left. Antiquated technology. Favoritism.
