Pros

Pay is good for Boise area since cost of living is generally lower than many other metro areas. I have seen a steady increase in salary over the past several years that has outpaced the cost of living increases of the area and reflected pretty accurately on my performance. I have experienced a broad degree of autonomy on my projects and my managers give me lots of flexibility in determining how to execute tasks the way I think is best. Very little micromanaging in my experience. The work atmosphere is relatively low stress for how busy everyone is. I don't feel like there is ever anger or animosity between people even when things get crazy and stressful. Opportunities for career advancement are pretty good right now (we'll see if they tighten education vs experience requirements more) but require self initiation. Boise area is nice if you like being outdoors and outdoor activities. The city is very clean, safe, and family friendly with lots of community parks. Depending on where you live, the commute to work can be just a few minutes. A number of people ride bikes to work.

Cons

In the Technology Development department the % of women is still very low (~5% in my area but generally higher 10-15% in other areas) but has improved significantly in the past few years. The new TD office building is pretty nice and modernly styled. The other office buildings are undergoing renovations but movement on this has been slow so office/cube accommodations are fine but not as nice as other big tech companies. Career development training was very lacking in the past but is getting better and allowing more mobility. Very little public transportation in Boise although the city is getting better with Van Pools and drivers are generally considerate of bikers who obey good riding sense.

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.
