Pros

Flexible with work hours and schedule

Cons

Lack of communication between management and hourly employees doing the actual work. Management and those in supervisory roles need to be re-evaluated as most of them don’t listen to any feedback given and go and do and say what they want without any repercussions. Micromanagement is HIGH. Those with more seniority than you are super condescending. Certain employees get singled out by management and sometimes get embarrassed by said management. Supervisors and management tend to show favoritism to one or two employees and let the rest of us kick dust. Super unprofessional in that aspect. Not a lot of room for growth, no matter how hard you work.

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.
