Pros

health benefits, 401K & 75% matching up to 10% of your contribution, free workout room, cafeteria, garden/fountain and walking paths, onsite software and soft skill training opportunities, meditation rooms, corporate discounts, while the m/f ratio is 80/20, I have never seen or felt any gender discrimination

Cons

you are one of many - feel like a cog, little career advancement opportunity, low salary (benefits are great, but for the younger, healthy and non-parent employees, they don't really get used), lots of engineers/type A personalities - communication is poor, have seen some talent hoarding by supervisors rather than putting them up for other positions

Great Benefits

Pros

Benefits (health insurance, 401K, stock purchase, etc) are top notch. Very reasonable work hours. I find the work interesting. Facilities are nice (most engineers work in 3 person offices, not cubicles).

Cons

Management does not necessarily do a great job of unifying teams across departments. This causes some odd interactions when working with other teams as they often have little concern for the things you are doing. The company is definitely organized around electrical engineers and selling hardware, so they are not as well setup to understand the needs of software development.
