Pros

Pay ranges is pretty competitive. A lot of hands on learning. Dynamic work, from righting reports, to running engineering tests.

Cons

Management is not the best in other key areas, therefore workload could be high and sometimes repetitive due to lack of technical knowledge and expertise in the other areas a lot of pressure on a few departments.

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.
