Pros

The pay is pretty good and the benefits are amazing. About 6 weeks of vacation a year! The management is very good at treating new college recruits as equals. You aren't forced to work long hours: 40-45/hr is average.

Cons

There isn't a clear path to promotions. The culture around campus is very boring. Plain white walls, no embellishments, no fun. The people in Boise are very conservative and sometimes very backwards.

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.
