Pros

* The people you work with are typically A game people who know their stuff * Decent benefits * Beverage service has a lot of variety * Morale events are usually pretty decent * No cubicle farms--you have your own office * VPN access means it's possible to work remotely

Cons

* Review process canibalizes way too much, is pretty pointless (rankings are established long before the "formal review") and is destructive to the product groups * Other engineers are not afraid to throw you under the bus to get ahead--things can get very cut throat * A LOT of reinventing the wheel goes on, and teams are too afraid to look to external companies for solutions/tools * Health insurance is no longer the best in the world
