Pros

The food is great at the Austin Customer Support campus. The people are mostly decent (just avoid the sales guys). And, there's typically a fairly well defined path for advancement.

Cons

You may be looked at as an outsider if you don't drink the Kool-Aid soon after hire. Your job description changes on a regular basis. And, when new products are to be released, you're not given any training nor advance notice to prepare.

Pros

We work with geniuses - in every department, We create innovative products that thrill our customers and create new product categories - who else can say that?

Cons

ZERO ZERO ZERO work/life balance. Execs have been saying for YEARS that they understand and will make it better. But in actuality, it gets worse every year! It is obviously top management LIP SERVICE because if they meant it, they could fix it tomorrow. They have hundreds of BILLIONS in the bank. If they REALLY cared about employee work/life balance, they could bring aboard the right number of folks to make that issue dissolve. Sick of hearing the lies. Just don't lie about wanting to fix it, when they clearly DON'T care
