Pros

Excellent commute for Redmond residents. A short walk to warm meals. Free annual health check-ups. Occasionally really good guest speakers (e.g., Tarjan).

Cons

Roughly half the people walking around, staring at you without even trying to avoid eye contact or trying to smile awkwardly so as to acknowledge that you are there or that they are human. Gave me the heebie-jeebies.
