Pros

Benefits package is okay and is always getting new additions. Lots of major retail near the office in Bellevue makes lunch time errands convenient.

Cons

The upper management/executives are completed incompetent. They don't care and have no connection to frontline employees. There is absolutely no morale or recognition which makes "caring" about your role impossible. Simply put: it's a paycheck while you are finding something else.

Pros

Flexible working schedules and quick interviews.

Cons

Technology well below standards. IT very unhelpful. Some upper level employees have been there several decades and make it almost impossible to advance, be treated equally, or involved. Your title means nothing. There is little or no internal human communication. Your co-workers barely will acknowledge your existance. Basically you are there for a paycheck while you look for another job. I have never worked for a company where I feel more disconnected. The dept I am in is way below average in procedures, time-frames, technology. People are VERY controlling. It's like walking on egg shells in every task. Very dis-heartening. Could be a great company, but chooses to not advance or be friendly. I was so excited to start this new position. I was very unhappy to find out my title was a lie and my input was worthless. Expect grueling hours of mindless over-time.
