Pros

Cutting edge technology. A great place to work for as an intern or contractor.

Cons

For my group, we had little to no raises and no stock options or RSUs offered. The management was very condescending and really did not listen to your ideas. They already had it figured out.

Pros

Great salary and benefits. The company encourages you to undertake training and there is plenty of presentations and seminars from technical experts. The company also encourages self empowering.

Cons

There is a core group of designers that the management trusts to make all the decisions and if your outside that group you'll end up with poor visibility about the business direction and wont be able to influence the technical decisions. Designers in this group tend to be snub others.
