Pros

Possible to work on the most advanced projects in the world. Mostly extremely smart, very nice people. Work with people from all over the world. Great work/life balance

Cons

As usual, your day to day life really depends on your manager, and they don't require management training. Results can be spotty. As a developer, you pretty much have to program in C or Java.

Pros

Benefits: health coverage, on-site gym, childcare, healthcare center, and more. Work-life balance: predictable hours, flexibility for parents and a culture that doesn't expect you to grind 60-hour weeks.

Cons

Compensation lags the market, slow career advancement and promotions can take years. Change-resistant culture and new ideas move slowly. Leadership team manages up to just one person.
