Pros

Free drinks in the break room. Catered lunch meetings. Free on site gym.

Cons

Confidence in the company has eroded as the smartphone market reached maturity. Canceled raises and bonuses in the spring. No guarantees fall will bring anything. As expected, attrition is the result, as good engineers are leaving, and the mediocre ones are staying.

Big wave of talented engineers leaving in some critical departments. CEO lacks responsibility on the company development. CEO and CFO have been selling their stocks a lot every year.
