Great place to work; large company agility
Pros: - Very smart people
- Products touch every area of software (and some significant hardware)
- Pay (in Seattle) is great against cost-of-living
- Benefits are fantastic
Cons: - Large company syndrome- 100K employees doesn't move fast.
- Very slowly converting to a more agile software mindset, but large chunks are still box-product thinkers
- Tendency to group-think about brands, etc.
