      Pros

      There are no pros to working here

      Cons

      Takes FOREVER for anything to get done (if it ever does). No accountability. Lack of appreciation. Diversity for the sake of diversity. Toxic managers. Passive employees. Terrible culture. Outsourcing everything including engineering. Terrible products. Terrible and outdated software. Pay is okay, but the yearly raises are nearly non-existent. Bonuses for upper management is so big that the people that actually do the work get next to nothing. Computershare stock options are a joke. Can't get any personal information updated in the systems. The list goes on and on. It was the most depressing time period of my life while working here. Run, don't walk, away from this company.

      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.
