Excellent benefits (medical, dental, vision, 401(k)), good work/life balance, Boise is a low cost-of-living area with a good quality of life, leading edge technology, excellent training programs.

Cons

Extremely volatile (make huge amounts of money one year, lose huge amounts of money the next), can be bureaucratic, very large, so you tend to get slotted into a silo, can be a struggle to develop professionally.

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.
