Pros

Remote mostly Nice perks like discounted Philips products

Cons

Terrible leadership Terrible communication Lots of responsibility Underpaid High expectations while there is no clear way of doing things Project management is a disaster - no one knows what they are doing Buyer role wears many hats and is the go to for questions cross functionally even though it is not our scope of work (example engineers asking us engineer questions) The culture is really terrible - toxic work environment which resulted in a ton of turnover Confusion/dysfunctional Non stop tasks assigned - people constantly messaging you asking for updates on tasks - when there is no clear way of even doing it List goes on and on

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.
