Pros

Work with some of the brightest people Get discounts Free drinks Orca card

Cons

Constant re-orgs and subpar job security Too much politics , that you sometimes have to play the game Not uncommon for people to work on livesite issues 90 hours a week (xbox) People are overworked and produce low quality No onboarding or training Moving towards openspace neighborhood setups where productivity is hard to find Use of ancient practices/technology Traffic is getting worse every year, and expectations grow, so work/life balance almost doesnt exist.
