Pros

. Agile working . Nice office . ok benefits

Cons

. There is a lot of office politics going on. If you aren't an extrovert and friendly with the right people then you won't go far. . There is a reluctance to accept new ideas . There is a lot of talk/meetings with not a lot actually happening.

Hi there, thanks for writing a review on your experience while working for us. It sounds like you found some really positives elements to your job, but also like you're not having the best experience yet and we regret hearing that. We'd like to recommend you talk to your line manager about what can be done to make your ideas heard. Thanks again for your review and for all the work you're doing for us.

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.
