Overall, great place to work
Pros: Working with smart, focused people.  Shipping products that are used by millions.  Great location.  Highly competent managers.  Great benefits.  Reasonable compensation.  Great resume material.
Cons: The work is fairly intense and the pressure to produce is constant.  Most people are more focused on promotion than they are on doing the right thing - this can lead to a degree of dysfunction.
