Pros

Pay is average in Seattle. Got $1500 to spend on fitness every year. Free beverages in office. Free shuttles within cities.

Cons

Lots of bureaucracy. Internal tools are old and hard to use. Too many meetings and operation issues are always being forwarded until someone actually work on it. Hard to be promoted to next level.
