Good people, good training, and real support in the field. Management understands what the job is like and you’re not left alone when things get challenging. Tools, pay, and benefits are competitive, and work-life balance is reasonable for an FSE role.
Cons
It’s a large company, so there are plenty of systems and processes to learn. Some things move slower than in smaller organizations, especially early on.

- 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.
