Pros: Pay is reasonably competitive. You get to work with some really sharp people in the Scala community.
Low standards for performance make work-life balance easy, if skating along with your head down is your thing.
Cons: Laughably abysmal project velocity, internal politics, and a series of top-down reorganizations have resulted in a protracted land grab. Management on the East Coast just doesn't understand Bay Area hiring and employment culture. God help you if you need something from a Verizon team that's not also in San Jose. Your day-to-day experience will be highly dependent on the team; some seem terrible, some seem average.
