Pros

Benefits, vacation package, good people

Cons

Too many management changes. Excessive offshoring. Global management structure out of touch with business realities. Executive management unable or unwilling to change long term plans when business damage is very apparent do to cost reduction commitments. Career opportunities are almost non existent. If you are entrepreneurial, look elsewhere. This company has transformed from a locally driven business to a European style socialist state.

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.
