Pros

Good benefits with unlimited paid time off (if your manager allows it). Possible long-term, retirement employment,

Cons

Non-competitive pay for S.F. Bay Area, old tech and infrastructure, negative, anti-California culture from east coast corp office along with very early morning meetings due to time difference between east and west. Substandard, lazy managers waiting out retirement. Limited career development path on west coast.
