Pros

You get to work on advance technology in the mobile division. There are plenty of technical fellow-peer webinar training and tool training classes you can take if you can find time outside of your work to participate. Plenty of corporate simulation tools available. Excellent Help and IT support department. Very structured documentation process.

Cons

Company mobile phone technology is behind its competitor...always trailing. Some managers need training on soft skills, especially those the just moved up into management or moved in as a manager from a recent acquisition. Poor collaboration and communication between departments during chip development. No regular corporate vision casting down line. No vacation hour accumulation and no sabbatical. No team building activities. Employee can become individualistic when they are busy. Poor food quality at the Sunnyvale site.

Get to work with top of the line equipment. Technical leads are impressive and provide a great wealth of knowledge and experience to learn from.

Pros

Great technology, great engineers. Benefits are great.

Cons

Vacation time are not recorded. Hence you don't accumulate PTO. I would have preferred accrued PTOs over "unlimited" PTO since you would have to request for PTOs to your manager. It's up to your manager to let you have PTO. It's a good gimmick accounting to wipe off PTO liability off the books. I would have preferred better 401K matching. It's half of what my previous company's matching.
