      Pros

      Great efforts to make all employees comfortable, with flexible benefits, parking, gym, and stress-less environment. Well known name in the industry with decent products and hardworking people.

      Cons

      Lacks modern process and practices. Sluggish in making improvements and addressing the market. Too many changes in management and entrenched lowered positions refusing to change and adapt.

      HMS Titanic - Rudderless and Slowly Sinking

      Pros

      * There are some amazingly great people who really care about the product and user experience. * The Seattle HQ is an impressive building * The cafe has some free drinks and snacks * Great if you want to work on some good technologies to bump up your resume. * HR team and benefits are quite good.

      Cons

      * The really great people who care about the product and user experience are not listened to by mgmt. If they did not come up with the idea, it does not exist * The impressive HQ building is mostly empty and empty spaces are the norm. * Insane work hours chasing ever changing "shiny objects" or pet ideas of management. Getting an email at 10PM for a "just added" 7AM meeting is not uncommon. * Many of the vacated positions are either not backfilled or are shipped to overseas countries where the senior management came from. * Burning through money with overseas boondoggles.
