Pros

I am fortunate enough to be working for a group that value work/life balance. I have 2 young children, so this is something that is extremely important to me, to be able to spend time with my family. With decent compensation/benefits, and excellent work hours, I haven't considered switching job despite being contacted by recruiters regularly.

Cons

Career opportunities, it's big company with a lot of smart people, if you don't get 1 or 2 in stack rank, you will probably feel "stuck".

Pros

Gigantic space, single office. Smart and knowledgeable colleagues. Large scale projects. Meaningful work. Reasonably good salary. No state income tax in WA.

Cons

Many jobs are about maintaining and improving mature products, thus less innovative. Innovative projects tend to be concentrated in certain fields. Overall, the company is currently less innovative than some of its competitors.
