Pros

You can camp out there for a long time without getting noticed.

Cons

They have so much red tape they can't act in an agile manner. They hire people into positions that are inappropriate for their experience. They promote their "brand" on everything to make themselves look good but they have no abililty to produce anything innovative or that the market would actually want to buy. They survive only on old technology that is difficult to replace due to high barrier to entry.

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.
