      Pros

      -You can have a lot of responsibility early on, everyone has an influence on projects -Good pay -Fast-paced, growing environment with a lot of opportunities -Challenging work -Movement between departments is encouraged

      Cons

      -Very decentralized so there is little information sharing between groups -Individualist environment - since they run lean, you are typically working by yourself on projects -Long hours - poor work/life balance -Your experience is very dependent on your manager, and because the company is growing so quickly, there are many managers who haven't received the training or support on how to be a good manager

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Extremely generous compensation package that's paying at the top end of the pay range for many positions in Seattle. Very sharp peer group. Stable management structure. Culture that supports inter-company transfers.

      Cons

      Experience here is totally dependent on the group you're in and much of that is dependent on the management structure in place above you. Many directors and senior managers are weak managers and have typically been promoted based on their ability to manage up instead of their actual ability to manage a team. Retail teams have extremely high turnover rates. Compensation (including stock grants) is managed to a tight range as a result people who are making a lot of money now based on the stock more than doubling over the last few years are likely to see a drop in total compensation when those initial grants fully vest.
