Pros

There are many opportunities for movement both vertically and horizontally. The company is working on almost every kind of software you can think off from health management systems to GPS navigation to CRM. It is great to work at a firm where software is put first. There benefits are excellent especially the health benefits, free drinks at work and great commuter services including free Seattle Metro bus passes.

Cons

Work Life balance is hard to achieve when everyone is putting in many hours. Most people I have encountered continue working once they go home and at a minimum log in to respond to emails until late into the night.

Pros

Working with new technology. Learning how to do engineering at a large scale. Also it opens a lot of doors for future employment. Very flexible with hours. Very much about getting quality work done and not caring about how long it take to get that work done. So that can be good or bad depending on how you work.

Cons

It is a huge company, you need to compete to stand out. But as long as you are willing to work hard it should be ok. There is some inter team compition for rewards, on my teams it was healthy but I know on some other teams that kind of dynamic caused problems.
