Pros

1. Good Pay 2. Good gym facility 3. Helpful peers 4. Learning curve during initial few months is high.

Cons

1. Work life balance 2018-2019 was extremely terrible. Unfortunately, many people did not work because they had interest/passion in the specific field they were working on, but instead work because of an atmosphere of fear created by higher management knowingly or unknowingly. 2. There were too many unnecessary meetings held. Some were related to how to improve work life balance in the company, others being on performance review. 3. Even those who did not care about OT and just wanted to work during official hours had no other option but to work extra time sometimes even during weekends. 4. Learning saturated for some people in the company. Exploring interest by switching departments is difficult.

Pros

Decent pay, great stock grants and stock purchase plan. You can be at the forefront of memory technology driving today's AI megaboom, and benefit from the high demand (i.e. soaring stock price).

Cons

Little sense of community, lifeless office environment, dead-eyed and overworked employees. "Flexible work arrangements" in name only, as recent policy changes have significantly reduced effectiveness especially if you have a long commute or family life. Too much emphasis on unimportant buzz such as embracing diversity and inclusion is just annoying, but par for the course in today's big tech industry.
