Pros

Great place to work, where goals are clearly outlined and communicated in clearly defined manner. Fun atmosphere where creativity is encouraged.

Cons

Some of the internal systems are dated making them extremely difficult to use. There are inconsistencies with what all groups use, making comparisons challenging.

Pros

You get to work on interesting products and technologies. If you don't like what you are doing, it is relatively easy to transfer to another group. Company has a good reputation in the marketplace. Very good benefits and amenities, including employee software purchasing, private offices, on-site post office and gym, some free food and drinks.

Cons

Benefits have been significantly cut in the last couple of years. Promotions are difficult to get. Cost-cutting measures have resulted in ridiculous bureaucracy in purchasing equipment. Layoffs are frequent. New hires are usually in China and India instead of USA. With some products there is a lack of leadership from senior management, which results in low-quality products. It is very difficult to fire incompetent people, especially managers.

Pros

Excellent Benefits Professional, yet collegial atmosphere You get to work on products that are actually fun to use. Ideas are welcomed no matter where you are on the food chain. Free fruit!

Cons

Too much is being off-shored. It's hard to get things accomplished during the day when you're waiting on information from someone on the other side of the globe. Live meetings with said same co-workers are at inconvenient times for all involved. Limited opportunities in Seattle office. I've never seen so many people cry at work when they're under pressure. Annual layoffs of hundreds of people.
