Pros

If you have a family Boise is a nice place to live and raise kids. Pay is good, benefits are improving and aren't bad either. It is a stable job. It would look good on a resume.

Cons

Not much chance for career advancement unless you want to be a manager. Only sure way to get promoted is to get in with the good old boys club in your department, very political. If you don't have kids and don't love the outdoors, Boise will bore you to tears. The job is very repetitive, no chance for innovation and creativity is not encouraged. New ideas are often pushed aside in favor of "how is has always been done before". Design decisions are made by consensus management teams comprised of marketing and mid level managers, engineers only implement ideas handed down from on high. Be careful not to get on the bad side of anyone in the good old boys club.

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.
