Pros

There are no idiots here. Okay, there are a few but they are the rare exception. In general, there are a high caliper of coworkers. There is also an air of success around here. People feel like we build quality products that "win" in the marketplace. While they're not perfect, the senior management makes a genuine effort to look after the employees. Times when the employees have been short changed by circumstances, the senior management has done their best to compensate people for it.

Cons

Being on the cutting edge means that there are constant schedule demands.

I like the environment, but the dress code is loose, which i personally dont like. however that may be a plus for other people. But not too much negatives. although i dont like the fact that they waste money just like other companies. yes!
