Business Outlook
Pros
- Most of the BS office culture so prevalent in silicon valley is not present in South Lake Union (but, see first 'con' below). - Robust dialogue regarding design decisions is strongly encouraged, and SDEs at all levels tend to participate in such dialogues (but, see second 'con' below).
Cons
- None of the free meals, free parking, permissive expense policies, and so forth that you'll find in most of the major silicon valley companies. - Background: "Disagree and commit" is one of the core corporate values, and this is often a good thing (see second 'pro' above). However, there are more than just a few SDEs who interpret this as a license to be loudmouthed jerks.
