Great place to work, but can vary based on team
Strong name on resume.
Good cafeteria food.
Growth opportunities are plentiful.
Work-life balance varies depending on season (summers are more lax) and team.
Work is never boring.
Teams are very siloed, so you don't really communicate or work with others outside your immediate fellow engineers. Management style is therefore highly variable between teams. SWE pay is still top of the industry, but lags behind a select few companies.

3 phone calls + 1 on-site. They put a lot of effort into narrowing the pool of applicants before giving on-site offers. The on-site interview consisted of 5 different individual and group interviews.
