Pros

Good work/life balance Flexible on hours

Cons

Very poor management in some teams, causing a cascade effect of poor workflow on larger projects, recalls, wasted resources etc. Crazy high employee turnover, especially in teams like marketing. Managers play favorites and deny obvious candidates for promotion in favor of people with (often) years less experience who they just 'like' better HR are useless and never fix anything

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.
