Pros

Excellent Benefits

Professional, yet collegial atmosphere

You get to work on products that are actually fun to use.

Ideas are welcomed, no matter where you are on the food chain.

Free fruit!

Cons

Too much is being off-shored.

It's hard to get things accomplished during the day when you're waiting on information from someone on the other side of the globe. Live meetings with said same co-workers are at inconvenient times for all involved.

Limited opportunities in the Seattle office.

I've never seen so many people cry at work when they're under pressure.

Annual layoffs of hundreds of people.

Advice to Management

Managers need to take a more proactive approach to growing the skills of employees.

Don't tell people in the U.S. that "we can get someone for $40K a year in India, all expenses" because this is not confidence-building and is fairly frightening.
