Pros

some nice perks and good work life balance although they are taking that away with the rto announcement

Cons

There’s a common theme of announcements being made with lack of forethought. A reorg was announced without any information to be given, including new role descriptions and compensation. And then, a return to office was announced without any additional information as to increased benefits or pay to account for the return. They also accidentally announced this early by mistakingly making the document available internally before the announcement. I strongly caution anyone from joining at this time as leadership is lost and they make snap decisions that hurt employees as a knee-jerk reaction to a tough market and an overpriced stalling product. They send out quarterly employee satisfaction surveys that aren’t completely anonymous, even though they say they are, so nobody responds to them genuinely, so maybe that’s why leadership tends to come off so tone deaf. There is little to no upward mobility currently and there will be an exodus of employees after the recent rto announcement which, for many people, was the last straw. The culture is ok, but fairly cliquey. There are great people there but middle management is made up of people who were in the right place at the right time and weren’t trained correctly, if at all, for their role. Not even a cost of living pay increase this year even though everything in Seattle is more expensive than ever

Pros

Solid product, talented peers, and meaningful exposure to the private markets. You can build useful skills in account management and other customer-facing roles. Many individual contributors are smart, capable, and supportive of one another.

Cons

The biggest risk here is not the product or the day-to-day work - it is leadership. In some offices and teams, senior leaders create an environment where trust is low, expectations are inconsistent, and favoritism or perception can matter more than performance. Instead of clear direction and constructive support, employees are often left dealing with shifting standards, mixed messages, and a culture where appearances matter too much. Basic respect is not always there, and some leaders rely on intimidation rather than good management. Speaking up, asking questions, or challenging something professionally does not always help and can sometimes work against you. This is especially hard on strong performers. Taking on more usually leads to more pressure, not more support or recognition. Once leadership forms a negative view of someone, it can be difficult to change, even when that person is delivering results. Over time, the environment can feel political, discouraging, and draining. The result is predictable: burnout, disengagement, and avoidable turnover. A number of talented people have left not because they were incapable, but because the leadership culture made the job unsustainable.
