Pros

The technology changes so frequently that there are always new projects to participate in. Everyday can be very different, which creates a very exciting work environement. People with good problem solving skills will not get bored in an engineering position. The pay is very good, especially considering the cost of living in Boise is fairly low. The benefits are pretty decent. Boise is an amazing place to live.

Cons

Poor balance between work and life. Way too much micromanaging. No clear direction of career path. Expectations are not clear. Poor quality and frequency of performance review. They give you way too much time off, but I have the impression that actually taking your time off is frowned upon. Managers do not fully support or appreciate their employee's input. "Face time" or the time actually spent in the building seems valued more than actual solid productivity.

Pros

Decent pay, great stock grants and stock purchase plan. You can be at the forefront of memory technology driving today's AI megaboom, and benefit from the high demand (i.e. soaring stock price).

Cons

Little sense of community, lifeless office environment, dead-eyed and overworked employees. "Flexible work arrangements" in name only, as recent policy changes have significantly reduced effectiveness especially if you have a long commute or family life. Too much emphasis on unimportant buzz such as embracing diversity and inclusion is just annoying, but par for the course in today's big tech industry.
