Pros

Compensation is great, beer bashes are fun, and the work is cutting-edge and very cool. The attention to detail is incredible, and the quality of the engineering that occurs in the labs is the best you'll find in the world.

Cons

The company is distant, not much of a 'startup' mentality, as much as they'd like to be. The higher-ups seem to treat employees as a bit more disposable than they should. Also, HR is filled with bureaucracy.

Advice to Management

Treat the hardware engineers better; they won't keep leaving for Nest, Microsoft, and Google.
