Pros

The company is financially solid. Great location (Bellevue)

Cons

Most of the employees are very old so change cannot happen here. If you work in IT, you will find yourself hating coming to work everyday. The carpet on the floors is old and it stinks. This company is good if you are over 55 years of age and are looking for a place to retire and you have no more dreams.
