Pros

The pay is good, at a level where you can survive in Seattle

Cons

Diversity is non-existent in non-tech sphere, highly bureaucratic and dictatorial, not actually data driven, promotions given on basis of favoritism rather than achievement, internal non-tech transfers are slim pickings and usually already full when they're posted

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.
