Pros

Good medical, free lunch, decent pay

Cons

For my entire time there, the company conducted layoffs every quarter. No project manager stayed on the team more than 3 months. The Seattle office is constantly being downsized, but they refuse to outright close it for some reason. Over a three month period we lost our CIO, VP, interim VP, and manager. That’s all the managers between us and the CEO. New VP came in and broke up team I helped build over 2 years. Impossible to maintain motivation in such a chaotic environment that obviously doesn’t care about workers.
