Pros

Extremely generous compensation package that's paying at the top end of the pay range for many positions in Seattle. Very sharp peer group. Stable management structure. Culture that supports inter-company transfers.

Cons

Experience here is totally dependent on the group you're in and much of that is dependent on the management structure in place above you. Many directors and senior managers are weak managers and have typically been promoted based on their ability to manage up instead of their actual ability to manage a team. Retail teams have extremely high turnover rates. Compensation (including stock grants) is managed to a tight range as a result people who are making a lot of money now based on the stock more than doubling over the last few years are likely to see a drop in total compensation when those initial grants fully vest.

Pros

Decent pay, smart people, job security. Overall it is a decent place to work but it is hard to get recognized for going above and beyond, you really need to talk with your manager on a daily basis.

Cons

Ambiguous, teams often work independent of other teams / don't share info that could be useful, feedback was poor and often non-existant.
