Pros

A decent employer, with high benefits. Excellent people to work with. San Diego :-) Many projects, some are very interesting. People can shift between projects.

Cons

Not very sexy. The core business is hardware and patents. Mobile apps and such are regarded as a sidekick and never get much attention / funding. Lot of corporate management stuff like long meetings. I would expect it in any company of such size.

Pros

Great design team. Learn a lot in the project. Great resources for self motivated technical improvement.

Cons

Big wave of talented engineers leaving in some critical departments. CEO lacks responsibility on the company development. CEO and CFO have been selling their stocks a lot every year.
