Pros

The work I do is challenging and interesting. The company offers great benefits. The work-life balance is good in my current team. It wasn't good in my previous team. The compensation is also good.

Cons

During the past year, there has been too many organizational churn. As a result, some people have left the company. The attrition has been an issue in the online group, because there are many external opportunities in the Bay Area, and not as many internal opportunities. Being in a satellite campus is an issue. Number of opportunities outside of Seattle area is low, and some projects are not as interesting.

Pros

Great medical coverage. Large searchable database of code, if you don't know how to use a method you can look at multiple implementations. Company store sells MS software at a great (cheap) price. You work with really smart people.

Cons

You'll need to work as though you were in a start up without the reward. It wasn't always this way, there was a period in which managers didn't want their employees to burn out, that has changed. Don't stay in one group for long, those I've seen doing great moved around gaining new skills making them more valuable.
