Still the best place in consumer electronics for me

Pros: Impactful products and projects.
Lots of learning and growth opportunities.
If you want to deliver the best product at all cost, the company actually supports that more than any other hardware companies out there.
What you'll experience varies largely by team.
Cons: Moving up is difficult in any big company since there are a lot of people ahead of you who are just as smart. Depending on the phase of the product cycle and how unlucky you are, there could be a ton of work all at once and extreme high pressure to get things done.
