Pros

Benefits, work-life balance, and a good school district around the Bellevue-Redmond area.

The city is also nice, is liberal, and focuses on the environment.

Cons

Windows is the main con, I guess. Some managers are still stuck in the old culture, which is definitely dying.

Advice to Management

Embrace open source more. Get rid of Yammer; it is a piece of junk. Fix the internal search; why is it so terrible?
