Pros

Great benefits that would be hard to beat anywhere else. Salaries were in line for the most part of what I know of outside of the company in my area.

Cons

Work-life balance can sometimes be an issue, but I nearly always was able to get time when I needed it.

Pros

Decent pay given that it is in Seattle which is much cheaper to live than SF. Average benefits. Very good work/life balance from what I observe.

Cons

Very political. Management knows little about the technologies but keeps override technical decisions made by people who actually know them. For personal growth, I definitely learnt a lot about politics, but my technical ability might be even worse than I just left college.
