Pros

- There are opportunities to grow. - Great start to begin your career. - You can gain a lot of experience - Decent pay and benefits. - Education assistance - Diverse - Great co-workers - Good teamwork amongst employees, at least in my area

Cons

- In the 5 years I’ve been here the company has become a stressful work environment. - Upper management makes poor decisions and doesn’t listen to their employees - Overworked - Work/life balance is difficult depending on your title/department. - Company may be a bit too forgiving - No one to report anything to or talk to. It’s quite sad since I used to enjoy working here, but those days are long gone.

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.
