Pros

The benefits are very good, and reviews are 360 and regular as clockwork, with raises and bonus usually following. Non-cubicle environments for the most part. Nice facilities and amenities. Wicked smart people in core areas. Truly global in makeup and perspective. Technological leadership and market gorilla status. Relatively flat hierarchy and accessible management.

Cons

There's a cultural tendency towards empire building and slow responsiveness in dealing with nonperforming products and personnel. Seems stricken and hobbled sometimes by competing/conflicting business interests internally. Mediocrity seems tolerated in some areas because of the cash pouring in from licensing royalties. Over-bureaucratized an over-lawyered to a degree that is reflected in the products sometimes.

Pros

Location, San Diego is a great place to work. Diverse work place, many amenitites. Wireless technology leader. The workplace is a very nice place to go, with many buildings and good facilities. They have many good benifits and on paper value the employee.

Cons

Highly political. Promotions and opportunity is not based on sill level but on how you are "liked" by upper management. Very hostile, non-cooperative work evironment. HR is used as a tool for revenge by workers. Employees not working together, no teamwork. The problem is the people. The company is a good company but the bad seeds ruin the work environment.
