Pros

Pay is decent. Excellent 401k.

Cons

Management is very toxic. No one knows how to do their job and they refuse to give the employees a proper billing system to help make the job easier. Everything is haphazard, especially with management. They continuously pile more and more work on you with everything being the priority. Management never responds to your emails and micromanaging is rampant. The manager has a very condescending attitude and very toxic then wonders why team morale is low. If you ask questions about how to better do your job you are penalized. Management is not truthful, although they claim to be *transparent. You are given unrealistic goals with little or no guidance.

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.
