Pros

Good pay and benefits. Good location. Time off when needed.

Cons

Management seems scared to punish specific people but have no issues punishing the whole group. Employee pay is not linked to your quality of work. They just care about numbers, numbers, numbers. No chance of moving up. Slackers continue to slack while hard working people get all the work piled on them. No performance bonus at all so there is really no incentive to work any harder than the next person.

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.
