Pros

Your designs are on billions of devices.

This is great technology and engineering concepts applied on a day-by-day basis.

This offers the opportunity to enhance your curriculum, bonuses, and stock options.

You can work on challenging projects and schedules and meet some very smart guys (usually from the San Diego HQ).

Cons

Poor work-life balance. Internal career progression and salary increments are limited. There is a lot of pressure to be handled on a daily basis. In most cases, middle and senior management end up just keeping the status of projects instead of doing any actual work. The environment is too hectic.

Advice to Management

Improve employee recognition, otherwise, after a couple of years, you will lose your best employees.
