Pros

Very Flexible Managers. Extremely Good HR Policies.. just to give you a feel.. There is no limit on the no. of SICK LEAVES you take.. of course you should be having a reason to satisfy your manager. Flat Hierarchy, can approach anyone and you will not be avoided. Good Work-life balance... If you are getting married in the near future, this is THE company to look for.

Cons

Although it boosts of innovation and patents, nothing of such sorts are happening today,its all in the past. People are not rewarded properly for their contributions or their excellence. Except the top management, nobody is allowed to take decisions. Feedbacks do not help.

Pros

- Easy commute if you live north of Seattle/Bellevue - Decent cafeteria - Decent compensation

Cons

- The level of apathy amongst colleagues is off the charts. Many people are simply coasting and collecting a paycheck. When you try to be a team player and pick up the slack, you simply become a target for blame. - Due to the extremely lax "return to office" policy, the office often feels quite empty when there is plenty of work to be done. Being onsite M-F often leads to more work with little support. - There is a culture of public shaming, with several meetings every week dedicated to project leads targeting individuals to make up for their own lack of technical understanding.
