Pros

The great, fun culture that started with Appature (purchased by IMS in 2013) has remained. I get to work with very smart, knowledgeable people. No one is working me to the bone. Nice view, free parking.

Cons

Upper level management (above the Seattle office) has no idea how to run a software company. Direction keeps changing every few months. Apparently we're Salesforce developers now.

Pros

Great pay initially, especially after negotiating. People are very smart and willing to meet for networking and learning opportunities. Flexibility and work life balance is by far the best perk - especially since many roles are fully remote.

Cons

Merit raises have been subpar the last 4 years and do not come close to keeping with inflation, consistently the company cites great EBITDA growth but that never is shown in bonuses nor merit raises despite receiving “exceeds expectations” ratings. Parental leave is a nominal. Very easy to get “lost in the sauce” of such a large company.
