Pros

Fun after work activities, BAM (Booking Annual Meeting) and the big party, possibilities to work abroad in another office, colleagues.

Cons

All the cons with this company spells MANAGEMENT. You will not be evaluated after your true performance, but after your personality and personal relationship with managers. You should not even think about having another opinion than management as they will use everything they can to lower your performance score (which has an effect on both bonus and salary increasment) as a punishent against you if you dare questioning anything or if you come up with ideas they do not agree with. You are not even allowed to be human - you should always, in all situations smile, be happy and say "yes". If you even breathe another opinion then theirs or have one bad day a year they will do anything to punish you. Management is often young un-experienced people who have no experience in managing people, they often do it in a very non-modern, conventional way based on reward and punishment systems. They will give endless feedback on your personality if you have any traits they dislike. They will also go behind your back and share information with other managers that you shared with them in trust. I wouldn't recommend my worst enemy to work for this company. And if you still want to, be prepared for a very non-professional and mentally degrading environment where you should be prepared to basically sell your soul, your values, your ethics and your true identity to the devil to be able to succeed within the company.

Pros

The only pro I can think of is that if you use public transit the local Bellevue office offers an ORCA bus pass. -- They do offer "hotel reimbursement" if you use Booking.com to reserve - but, that's about it.

Cons

Consider it slave labor. Don't expect anything. You're over worked, underpaid and under appreciated. If you bring this up they will let you know they "appreciate" you with a balloon. - Like they did back in kindergarten. - If you use up your break time or personal time you do not get any other time for such things as restroom stops. - They don't offer sick days; you're required to take PTO - and if you don't have any available, you 'borrow' the PTO from the future -bringing you negative - meaning you have to make it up. - You can't be late or they'll use PTO time to make up for that time. - You get written up for everything all the time. -- This list goes on.
