      Pros

      It really differs from team to team, but a lot of groups have an excellent work-life balance. Also, the benefits are good - the gym is fantastic (and free), there are free bagels on Wednesdays, free coffee and milk, and snacks.

      Cons

      Again, the experience differs from team to team. A lot of groups don't have a good work-life balance - on my first team, we had to show up to the office every day and stay until 6:00 or later. A lot of teams also don't care about code quality or follow good process. I've seen a fair amount of code that was extremely poorly written and a number of questionable design decisions. It just seems like most employees just come in for the paycheck - very few people actually care about coding or computers.

      Pros

      The company overall is very good. The benefits are better than most other places and there is matching 401K program as well as company stock options.

      Cons

      I've been here for a little over 2 years and I've begun to hate my job more and more every day. Don't get me wrong some days can be phenomenal and you can feel very proud to be working here. But there are some days when you can't believe you are still here.
