Pros

Work life balance. Unlimited sick leaves

Cons

Some managers are egoistic and unprofessional.it depends on project though. I ended up resigning owing to my scrum master and manager. They act as if they are technically sound and bring down genuine employees who don't do boot licking

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.
