Pros

Could be a great place, it has the right values of impacting the health and wellbeing of people.

Cons

Too complicated organizational structure with no accountability. All decisions are pushed up to senior leaders. Also a very Dutch company which does not like outsiders “if you ain’t Dutch, you ain’t much.” Very hyper critical of new ideas. Not a transparent operating system or behaviors.

Thanks for your review about your experience so far as Functional Leader, that's much appreciated. It's however unfortunate to hear that you feel that the company isn't as open-minded as it could be. Our goal definitely is to have a environment and culture in which everyone could have their say. Thanks for your honest feedback, I'll make sure to share it with a relevant 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.
