      Pros

      Career advancing opportunities, working on the most interesting stuff out there and they treat people very good. I don't know if there's another software company in the US which treats it's employees like this. I'm not talking only about benefits, but about respect.

      Cons

      Sometimes, there are situations in which you have to work late. Also, it depends on the team you work in. Another downside would be that you promotions depend solely on your manager's decision. So if your manager doesn't like you, you're pretty much stuck on your job.

      Pros

      Look great on resume, so you can get a senior, manager, position on startups. Get much more money. A lot of smat people, and a lot of rains in Seattle, of course you must be the person who love rainings :)

      Cons

      Boring, since it's a big company with long history, I guess peope will loose motivation to develop themselves when working there. After only 1 year working with them, I already lost my motivation to work. And the traffic in Seattle is horrible, no public transports, you must use your car or you can walk, ah one more choice, you live next to the building.
