Pros

good commute nice clean building onsite child care onsite cafeteria and gym some of the people are great to work with

Cons

command and control management style, often employing fear and intimidation to control employees they hire cousins, friends, daughter's godmother, etc. so loyalty is valued much more than competence toxic environment for people who have innovative ideas

Pros

On-campus fitness center, daycare facility, cafeteria big pluses. Good healthcare and insurance benefits. Dublin campus located in a suburb with reverse traffic is helpful (esp compared to SF or SJ).

Cons

No telecommuting allowed. Christmas Week mandatory company shutdown uses up a week of worker's vacation time. This is always brought up during "Ask the CEO" sessions; reason given is that we get short vacation (giving up a full week forced to take during Christmas) and no telecommuting so we can enjoy good healthcare. I suspect a lot of people will be willing to pay for higher co-pay or prescriptions if we could work from home a few times a week.
