Pros

Job security No overtime for most Easy commute location for public transportation

Cons

I had a very horrible experience working in the HR department. They should be honest and call it the Personnel Office or Labor Acquisition Department. There is little respect for people and their individual dignity and well being. Not uncommon at all to hear inappropriate comments about employees (age, weight, looks, ethnic features) from the leadership! They view coming to work sick and when the roads are hazardous (and Sound Transit isn't running) and handling abusive behavior as a requirement and a badge of honor. Despite the economy and people seeking security in employment, turnover in the HR department was astounding and leadership didn't care.

Pros

Wonderful internship experience. I truly enjoyed every aspect of the internship, from the people and team culture to the meaningful projects and great location. It was an incredibly positive learning experience, and I would highly recommend working there.

Cons

While the business professional dress code may not be for everyone, I personally didn’t mind it and felt it contributed to the professional environment.

Pros

Not much, if you want a place that's okay with mediocrity, then welcome.

Cons

They blindly follow industry trends not industry standards. We have an initiative to use AI to increase productivity, without a proper plan, without security in mind and lack of general understanding. Consistently understaffed, for example there are teams or parts if teams that have max 4 developer type roles with 36 apps or APIs to support - this has lead to inconsistent code and effort as employees are spread too thin to be able to deliver quality work. Management refuses to take responsibility for issues that arise from being understaffed. Teams are not consistent in what tools and pipelines are used causing even more confusion and delays. Double standards: they don't want to properly promote or give raises to hard workers. Upper management made it clear to direct managers that "meets expectations" was a fine thing to give... To employees doing more than their fair share of work and are doing work outside of their role since they have no one else to do it do to being understaffed.
