Pros

Being given access to cutting edge software for free, excellent discounts, and actually giving time to learn the software...it puts together a really nice place to work for those reasons. Also, the pay is pretty fair.

Cons

The management staff was extremely clique-y and hired for management within their friend group. They preferred people who told them yes and toed to the company line without questioning it.

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
