Pros

The people around me, at my level are fantastic to work with. The office environment, while cubicles, is nice and the campus is beautiful. There is a lot of meaningful work to be done. The salary, benefits, and work life balance are good.

Cons

The director level is horrible. There is a huge disconnect between the directors and the people actually doing the work. The corporate norm is for directors to get all the credit. The folks doing the work might get a thank you if they're lucky while the directors get full credit for having an idea along with monetary incentives. It's incredibly frustrating. The director level is currently making bad choices regarding future data grown and report maturity, reverting away from centralized visualizations to Excel only solutions.

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.
