Pros

Work life balance if you don't care about your work. Nice campus.

Cons

The work load can become unbalanced among team members as many are cruising. Takes forwever to get rid of people. Older people. Resistance to change. Very weak PM structure.

Pros

Great work life balance. You can work from home when not traveling to customers and most managers will allow you to take time off when needed to take care of personal affairs. There are rare cases when you need to do overtime or weekend work and those only happen during customer cutovers. The benefits are good but they are pretty standard and worse than other tech giants in the bay area.

Cons

The only way to get a raise is to come with a competing offer. There are piles of dead wood in my group and nobody is terminated. I am in the company for over 7 years and have seen only one person getting fired and because that person did outperform for 5 years! The promotions happen to make you happy with a higher title, but that does not mean more responsibility and neither salary raises. The executives get the raises and you do not. The bonus is a big chunk of your pay but the bonus pool gets underfunded ALWAYS. If you move from level 1 to level 2 (for example) your bonus increases from 15% to 20%, but your salary does not increase but management makes you think this is a 5% bump on your salary. They use the "dive and save" strategy and they will only bump your salary if you have an offer in hands.

Pros

Good benefits, free snacks, decent pay. Flexible hours/ability to work from home. No dress code for the office.

Cons

Ridiculously boring...! For me anyway. Not so much designing as nudging pixels around. Very few holidays and absolute minimum vacation time.
