Pros

Bright developers. Extremely intelligent and nice VP.

Cons

Quantity over quality -- the Seattle branch grew from 30 to over 200 devs in two years. A manager was favoring a large number of bugs as a means to convince upper management that more employees need to be hired. Worst ever location -- far from most suburbs in the greater Seattle area, at zero altitude and feet-close to a heavy cargo railway that provides plane parts to a airplane manufacturer. Traffic is clogged and if you don't leave work at 3:30PM or 7:30PM your commute home takes hours. When it rains (and it does most of the time in Seattle) streams of water pour down to this location. Should you try to walk up the hill to take a bus, you will be pacing knee-deep in water. Some devs left the company due to its unreachability. Years ago the company was nominated as one of the best place to work in WA. In the latest Best Places To Work in WA, they are not among the first 300 companies.

Pros

The layoffs were handled quietly and unexpectedly, even though there were some early signs. They didn’t share who else was affected, but it was clearly more than just me.

Cons

They’re doing layoffs in phases, and my position was part of the most recent round.
