Pros

Great 401K benefits-- matching and 100% vested at day 1, good work/life balance, commuter benefits include free transportation up to $120 a month, education reimbursement is high. Office environment is beneficial to be at the corporate headquaters because you get to interact more with upper-level execs than at ofther locations. The Communications team is very news-based and not fluffy. And when difficult organization changes are made, they treat employees like adults and explain why.

Cons

Being that its the corporate headquarters, the office culture is a bit stiff and mostly older individuals. Its also difficult to feel connected to the products when you aren't in Seattle. As mentioned in other reviews, everything takes extremely long to work through. Often times you'll work on a story or project and it either gets cut during the long approval process or it gets shot down due to changes that make the story irrelevant. Any growth is often lateral. They will move someone from project to project with the same title before moving them up. Vacation benefits are terrible (10 days for 1-5 yrs, 12 days for 5-10 years... it takes 10 years to get just 15 vacation days!)

Pros

Good if you are white, conservative, and willing to cheat.

Cons

This company has a serious discrimination problem and unethical managers. Despite they do ethical training every year (imposed by the Federal Government that caught them cheating, not by choice) it is just a facade. HR is non-existing, if a manager is acting unethically and you report him to HR, they will tell you to find another job, managers can do whatever they want and they cannot be fired.

Pros

Good benefits, flexible schedule, travel from the city is short.

Cons

Work is uninspiring and boring. No job I've had has required more than a high school education. Lots of dumb people work here due to managers only hiring kids from their alma mater. Management is generally a mess. You'll have to work here for 15-20 years before you even sniff any preliminary design work. Promotions are often less than 3%. Yearly raise is about 2.5%. Pay is good enough to make you think, "Hey at least I have a job."
