Pros

If you have a lot of initiative and ambition, you can build a career around your own strengths. The line employees are great - professional, supportive, openly share information. Competitive salary and benefits. Good location for anyone who lives north of Seattle. Free parking.

Cons

No one is ever good enough -- unless they happen to be some manager's favorite. There's a LOT of politicking and silo priorities in the senior ranks. Initiatives, strategies, projects start and stop constantly depending on who won the latest round in the C suite. Directors and above are hyper critical of each other's employees, often in public settings.

Advice to Senior Management

Do some team building among yourselves and stop stabbing each other in the back! And you can't all be the smartest person in the room all the time. You're not actually furthering the company's objectives by shredding the self esteem of some lowly project manager or line supervisor in a group setting.
