Pros

Good time off but it is so hectic nobody ever takes it. Good pay for Boise.

Cons

First line managers only have two skills make you work more hours or micro management. From five years of experience I saw multiple divisions with the same problems, people that were good at being and individual contributor were rewarded after “years of experience” with management jobs even though they were really bad at managing people.

Pros

Decent pay, great stock grants and stock purchase plan. You can be at the forefront of memory technology driving today's AI megaboom, and benefit from the high demand (i.e. soaring stock price).

Cons

Little sense of community, lifeless office environment, dead-eyed and overworked employees. "Flexible work arrangements" in name only, as recent policy changes have significantly reduced effectiveness especially if you have a long commute or family life. Too much emphasis on unimportant buzz such as embracing diversity and inclusion is just annoying, but par for the course in today's big tech industry.
