Pros

Great campus and cafeterias, reasonable priced, lots of on-site facilities. If you are an under-performer you tend to be able to stick around for a while, I often found myself waiting to get deliverables accomplished because peers or other groups were out for a a couple of their 25 days a year vacation. While a great majority of corporate campus is riddled with under achievers, there are super nice people that will work as hard as they know how to help you on board.

Cons

Was unaware of their culture in the industry prior to joining and the mass exodus of 2016 did not leave many customers in a purchasing position. If I were to give any advice, I would say that after you join, learn as much as possible and then start to look for an exit strategy, over-achievers don't last long. Engineering staff is friendly and fun to work with, but if you come from a high energy high potential firm, you have to babysit them to get what you need.

Pros

Great co-workers and healthy environment. Benefits are amazing. Demands are reasonable.

Cons

I think this is true for many places right now but post-COVID campus has become mostly remote work. You have to organize with your team when you want to have face-to-face interactions.

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.
