Pros

- Work on the latest technology - Will be able too work with some excellent people - Employee benefits are good

Cons

- Company will layoff people without a second thought. So one should make sure to get into profitable business unit. - All the work is Santa Clara centric. If you are hired in remote location make sure work is predefined otherwise one has to ask for work all the time.
