      Pros

      -- Flexible scheduling lets you take care of things during the day if you need to -- Salary matches cost of living, so you can afford to live in the ultra-expensive Bay Area -- You get to learn new skills on the job since there are always training sessions available both in your department and in the company as a whole

      Cons

      -- There's too much emphasis on quantifying results even when what you're trying to measure can't be boiled down to numbers -- There's a push to compete with other employees and a rush to get visibility in the department, which leads to an enormous amount of unnecessary presentations in meetings -- Some managers try to push you to move your career in a direction that you don't want to go -- There are limited promotions, so you have to move laterally in the company before you can move up
