Pros

Flexibilty in work style, opportunities to choose the career path, supportive management, good salaries, intelligent peers, world no. 1 company to work in

Cons

there are no downside...it is a best place to be in. Only thing would be that things are already mature...you dont get enough things to decide to do it your own way

Pros

Lots of smart & passionate engineers, tons of resources to learn and explore, probably the software/service company that takes tester most seriously, great benefits package

Cons

So-so base pay compared to the other top company, work-life balance fluctuates over time, some management people have no desire to take risk and hence reflected in the compensation/reward of the engineers
