Pros

Good work/life balance depending on projects. Fascinating tech to learn if you have the patience to navigate the changing use case landscape and ethical challenges

Cons

Executive leadership attempting a culture change but too many people talking at the same time to make meaningful discoveries. Constant change of plans for areas of focus and no clear target verticals can create headaches.

Pros

Technology driven, good location, get to use the latest technologies, still has a good name in the Seattle job market

Cons

Lot of politics in the company. If you are on the losing side, your head is on the line. The company has no clue on the direction it is going. Non existent sales/marketing team. No new business in the pipeline. The company is just burning the cash from the settlement with Microsoft. So its days are numbered. The managers don't know how to manage their teams. No direction from the top management. Because of the downsizing and attrition, the load on the individuals has increased a lot. No work life balance as you are expected to work long hours and weekends.

Pros

no micro-managing, career growth, games, gym, cafe, relaxing and fun atmosphere. People are intelligent & very hard working. Great place to work!

Cons

constant re-organization and layoffs! If you don't participate in gossip, prepare to be outcasted!
