Pros

If you like extra money theres lots of OT. 401k & health benefits, company car, cell phone, laptop & tools. Work from your home as your base location.

Cons

There's lots of OT & its often not optional. 2.5% average annual raises dont keep pace with inflation of 3%. So annually you are taking a .5% pay cut to stay employed. Poor life balance, constant pit in stomach when out during any small down time just thinking about the next piece of equipment to break.

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.
