Pros

Genuine, real colleagues I enjoy working with

Cons

Sr leadership out of touch with reality. They don't understand or want to understand the common view. For example, with recent RTO, "I am energized by working with colleagues in office" comments with no allowance to their privileged positions (living close to the office, extremely well paid, spouse taking care of family, etc) as compared to the majority (living far from office due to housing cost, paid less due to junior roles, both parents working, etc). Feeling like I have to be *fake* everyday and act like it's all good when the ship is sinking.

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.
