Pros

A big company that offers many experiences, job movement, training, good people and advancement

Cons

Big company, narrow in focus, not as employee-friendly as it once was. Overbearing and over demanding when it comes to making unrealistic sales goals. They are out for themselves to make money while holding you accountable for their failure to read the market. They are now pushing to get younger hoping to lower their employee costs. Use them as they'd use you and it can be a win-win, just don't get burned in doing so...

We appreciate that you've taken the time to reflect a bit on your experience working with us for over the past 10+ years. It's great to read there have been quite a lot of opportunities, and there is a lot of focus on training, for the sake of innovation. The way you describe it, it does sound like sometimes task could be delegated better. I hope you've talked about this with the managing team when you were leaving. You can also be sure that managers read these pages as well, so they'll be able to take note of it. As a final note: thank you for your work over the past 10 years with us, it was great having you on board.

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.
