Pros

Amazing depth of technical people, resources and facilities. Supportive and collaborative people and working culture. Wonderful community in which to raise a family and enjoy all that Oregon has to offer. Unlimited vacation.

Cons

Rolling and clandestine layoffs paint a clear picture that the end is nye, at least for west coast R&D. Leadership and the Board have zero tolerance or patience for true innovation. Unlimited vacation (because people aren't willing to take it) Meager to nonexistent bonuses in recent years. Mediocre compensation. Zero opportunities for advancement as the company myopically cuts its way to short term profitability rather than focusing on the long game if innovation.

Pros

Fantastically little manager oversight. I hate being micromanaged. Give me some direction and let me work. In this way, it is great. I contract through a staffing agency, who I also never talk to. A dream. Pay is good. Expectations are low (which could be a con for some).

Cons

There is really no manager guidance, and hardly any feedback. Managers aren't allowed to meet regularly with contractors. Very hierarchical. Super slow task initiation. SUPER slow implementation. Like a six-month to one-year dev backlog. Not a good fit if you're hungry and a change-agent and live to make work processes better. Did I say slow? I meant glacial. And tribal/political. And scrumfall dysfunction. Other than that, it's great.
