Pros

- Talented, hard-working peers who care about their work - Opportunities to learn - Brand reputation can open doors

Cons

- The leadership culture is toxic and deeply rooted - Bullying and gaslighting is tolerated - Feedback is dismissed or used against you, and psychological safety is nonexistent! - High turnover, poor morale, and burnout are normalized - HR is complicit. Concerns are swept under the rug

Thank you for telling about the time you have worked for our company. We are very sorry to hear that your experience, with the management in particular, has not been positive by far and that you have observed bullying, gaslighting and other concerning behavior. It is also worrying to hear that you did not feel heard / supported by the Human Resources team. Needless to say that the culture you describe definitely is not consistent with our commitment to creating a healthy workplace where all our employees feel comfortable and are treated fairly and respectfully. We would like to encourage you to share more details about your time with us via our Ethics line, which is also available to people that are no longer working with us, so this can be thoroughly investigated: https://secure.ethicspoint.eu/domain/media/en/gui/100518/index.html. Please know that your experience is not typical and we take serious note. Thank you once again for this review. We wish you all the best moving forward.

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.
