Pros

9-5 work you can take long holiday not demanding you can work with average performance and retire (if you dont stick your head too much)

Cons

CEO has a vision but the middle managers dampen everything. VPs, Senior Directors has a comfortable package; they dont want to take risks, they are not incentivized to push to boundaries and perform As an employee when you push the boundaries and try to change things you are being asked "not to have a big mouth". there are dog and pony shows of awards and that but again this is orchestrated from VPs and the like, so its mostly nice PowerPoints hidden philosophy is "act normal that's crazy enough" - if you are a talent with a will to push boundaries - you are quite literally the crazy one

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.
