      Pros

      Salary comes on time every month. Good employee benefits and perks. Good work-life balance. Leave policy is good, sick leaves are not limited.

      Cons

      Lot of politics and micromanagement. Community based favourism. Micromanagement has led to exodus but still upper management doesn't care. Managers demean and humiliate you for the smallest of issues and doubts. Getting shouted on is quite normal. This leads to self doubt and demotivating. The environment is very depressing. No proper guidance for freshers. No mentor to help you. They expect you to learn and do everything, from full stack development to testing. HRs are there just for namesake. Even after complaining about issues multiple times, they literally wouldn't do anything about it. When asked for follow up they would just put the blame back on you. Agile process is also just there for namesake. No improvement actions are taken. Senior management is very arrogant and they just repeat the cycle of blaming everything on the development team.

      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.
