Pros

Challenging but rewarding work in healthcare that saves peoples' lives. Very nice colleagues. Flexible hours. Ability to occasionally work from home for health-related or personal reasons. Good pay and annual bonus. Above average benefits.

Cons

Too much reorganization and reshuffling. Not enough focus on hiring more specialized people, tools and/or training to do more efficient/lean work. Slow to introduce changes. Not very much up-to-date with technology.

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.
