Pros

Interesting problems to solve, Most ICs are smart and good to work with, good salary & benefits

Cons

Hyper-self critical at times to the point of being self-defeating, too many middle managers focused on building little empires instead of innovative & cool new products, strange malaise seems to underly a lot of work for the last several years

Pros

The Benefits are outstanding, the pay is competitive, and the prestige behind the company name opens a lot of doors. It's a very exciting place to work, if you're on the right team, because of the unique mix of cutting edge hardware and software.

Cons

They tend not to value anyone not producing code or selling it. They need to understand how important it is to have a foundation underneath to produce and test their code. They seem content to just outsource these positions, not knowing how much guidance these developers and testers need to manage their space effectively.
