Pros

* Work Life Balance is a keystone for management to base decisions on (family comes first) * Able to work from home when needed * Company paid bus service (private bus service avaialble to full time employees to get you into work) * Relocation package is (when I was hired) gold star: full pack and move without having to pay a dime. * Engineering process is truly an all hands exercise driven by everybody on the team who has feedback.

Cons

* Health care is now on par with other companies rather than being a gold plated standard (you better be single and healthy, or starting in 2013 you will pay out of pocket) * Midyear review process is meh...twice now I've gotten conflicting feedback, and End of year reviews in my product team is decided prior to any employee feedback. * Constant battle of having to "herd cats" with upper managment, and controlling their expectations versus what your product actually does * Unfortunately Puget Sound area is a higher cost of living when compared elsewhere, and unfortunately housing is hideously expensive.
