A great company, especially if you network well and live in Seattle/Redmond
Pros: The company  has awesome compensation and benefits. You can beat the health care anywhere. With the new review structure, there will be even better comp benefits to reap especially for those who enjoy collaborating with others and who know how to build relationships.
Cons: Politics and cronyism can be a bit of a pill for those who want to focus on performing well. Too many can spend hours in meetings asking questions but not delivering work product and still get promoted. Hopefully, the new review structure will mitigate this.
