Pros

The culture is one of innovation; respect and goodwill for others; and attention to detail befitting a highly-regulated industry. I work with smart people on innovations to make health care better. Software process maturity: #1 in Tiobe TICS survey. Good tooling: GitHub, ReSharper, CloudBees CI/CD

Cons

It's not a move-fast-and-break-things culture, which might be frustrating to some. Lots of regulatory-compliance needs, pretty heavy process to commit a PR.

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.
