Pros

Great people to work with and great range of products to work on. Great compensation package - right on par w/ MS chief competitors. Great quality of life, especially in Seattle locations. Everyone has a voice.

Cons

Too much consensus building and not enough visionary leadership. Despite a strictly enforced stack rank review system it takes too long to get rid of poor performers and the collateral damage from the stack rank is hard on morale.
