      Pros

      Interesting problems to solve, Most ICs are smart and good to work with, good salary & benefits

      Cons

      Hyper-self critical at times to the point of being self-defeating, too many middle managers focused on building little empires instead of innovative & cool new products, strange malaise seems to underly a lot of work for the last several years

      Pros

      The Benefits are outstanding, the pay is competitive, and the prestige behind the company name opens a lot of doors. It's a very exciting place to work, if you're on the right team, because of the unique mix of cutting edge hardware and software.

      Cons

      They tend not to value anyone not producing code or selling it. They need to understand how important it is to have a foundation underneath to produce and test their code. They seem content to just outsource these positions, not knowing how much guidance these developers and testers need to manage their space effectively.

      Pros

      There are many opportunities for movement both vertically and horizontally. The company is working on almost every kind of software you can think off from health management systems to GPS navigation to CRM. It is great to work at a firm where software is put first. There benefits are excellent especially the health benefits, free drinks at work and great commuter services including free Seattle Metro bus passes.

      Cons

      Work Life balance is hard to achieve when everyone is putting in many hours. Most people I have encountered continue working once they go home and at a minimum log in to respond to emails until late into the night.
