Pros

Free ORCA card, decent benifits

Cons

Compensation is a joke. Offering at least 10k less than other jobs with the same title in Seattle. Management has terrible communication with people below them Profit at any cost mentality Non-technical people are managing technical folks very poorly Unwillingness from upper management to invest in critical infrstructure

I appreciate your perspective. It is a balance trying to compete in Seattle with the likes of Amazon for top talent, while still delivering our cost of capital in a mature industry. I wish you well in your future endeavors.

Pros

Primarily remote work. Decent PTO after the 4th year.

Cons

Limited staffing and limiting overtime opportunities until the bitter end of potentially missing deadlines, which you are guilted into working. 2% "raise" every January and ZERO merit raises. Gutted profit sharing and profitability bonuses over time. Most recent bonus, which is tied to net profit after dividends, was given a result when the scale was never published. All previous bonuses had a floor-to-ceiling profit scale that showed the targets months in advance of the end of the bonus period.
