Pros

- Low expectations. - Flexible remote hours.

Cons

- Senior leadership drove this bus blindly off a cliff and wants us plebs to believe in their vision. - Single-minded, Seattle-based, politically charged, exclusive, ridiculing culture. - Hires skin colors instead of talent in repeatedly blatant, evidenced violation of the law by mandate from the highest levels of corporate leadership. - Comp is much higher for new hires than for the people teaching them to do their jobs. - "If you're in this meeting, you didn't get fired." - Changing directions too quickly to ever. complete. anything.
