Pros

Good work-life balance if you know the work and if you are experienced. Management provides opportunity if you are eager to demonstrate any new ideas.

Cons

I have been in this role for over two years now and the work that we get is less when compared to peers from abroad. It is usually integration work or not much valued work.

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.
