Pros

The individual contributors are good, hard workers. Very collaborative. Good benefits. Flexibility is up to your manager's discretion. Nice campus in Beaverton.

Cons

Budgets are constantly being cut. If someone leaves their job, there's a great chance that the job won't be refilled. Upper management doesn't fight for support for their staffs.

Pros

Diverse staff, you could actually see diverse sizes/shapes/ages/appearances on site. (Usually at hightech, you only see under 40yrs old, pretty-people, whites & asians, but with zero life experience, or any ability to design usable products for regular people. ) Product is nice and solid, built to last. Hidden Secret: Gorgeous grounds, great place to jog around, nice cafeteria, easy access to electric mass-transit, fabulous parking.

Cons

Lack of quality metrics on staff productivity, this would weed out of lot of waste & stagnators, and retain the talented. I saw people ridiculously gaming the current metrics system to look busy, run production costs up, while truly talented and productive were laid-off. Manager oversight non-existent, too busy flying around the world delivering powerpoints instead of video-chat, being horrific amateur process-engineering bullies/witchhunters, or recruiting & hobnobbing "cool-accents" people without skills. *Huge dark buildings. *Workout Center only open to permanent employees (a teamwork killer), looked mostly empty most of the time. Should work harder to woo all others, all shapes/sizes, and make it unembarrassing to them. *No process engineering led by pros in that field
