      Pros

      Good pay (but not good enough for the extreme cost of living in Seattle)

      Cons

      Management mandated 5 days work from office starting in 2025 (previously was fully remote from 2020-2022ish, then 3 days in office for 2023-2024). Upper management does not have your best interests in mind. Lots of politics, even if your direct manager is good. Disappointing yearly 'raises', and disappointing promotion raises.

      Pros

      Really smart people, a lot of opportunity for growth, always encouraged to be innovative, think big, and create something new. Competitive salary and benefits with other major tech companies. 100% self motivating work environment. No dress code and 4 legged friends are welcome.

      Cons

      You have to be self motivated. NO ONE will hold your hand and tell you that you're doing a great job. If you need constant affirmations from management, this company isn't for you.
