Pros

The amenities are good. There's free health care within the premises. Food is available at subsidized rates. A lot of international exposure in terms of working with people from all over the globe.

Cons

There is little to NO work life balance. Overtime is encouraged so much that there are charts pulled every month to check on the overtime trends and it is made sure that people continue to work twice the hours they're supposed to. The direction from management is never clear. The number of Ad Hoc requests that swoop in are out of control. They have no regard for your life outside of the company. There's cost cutting every now and then. The bonuses are a joke. It is literally a nightmare of a workplace.

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.
