Pros

Good work culture at the team level Supportive direct management that is willing to be flexible Good health benefits Good ethics around not enabling crunch culture

Cons

Do not expect to get cost of living increases to your salary - many employees have not gotten meaningful increases they would need to offset the increasing costs of living in the Seattle area. Do not expect honesty from upper management - in the realm of salary, after not providing adjustments to match the current inflation in last year's adjustments, employees were told that the company was gathering information to readjust job titles and compensation to industry standard. We were told that we would be hearing about next steps in a couple months. This did not happen, and we were continually asked to wait until this process was complete to further inquire on the subject of compensation. Now, most of a year later, they are walking this back - they have elaborated that there will be no company or department wide adjustments, but are assuring people that they will look at individual cases but are also not providing a timeframe for when this will occur- and also stating that this was NEVER meant to be a company wide adjustment despite implying otherwise several times in the past. Do not expect to advance in a way that benefits you- the company will encourage learning new skills and taking on new responsibility, but you will see resistance to any attempts to gain new titles or increased compensation to reflect your new responsibilities. The company is interested in obtaining expensive skills at a discount. If you do work here, take your new skills and use them to get a job somewhere that will reward you. That's what everyone else does.
