      Pros

      You'll be involved in the development of an important and well known product. Good establishment. There's a chance that you'll be working on an international project, with people from many different countries.

      Cons

      Bureaucracy. Bureaucracy everywhere. From asking for a new mouse to buying a server, you'll face many obstacles along the way, and it'll always take looong time until you get what you need (if it ever happens). Terrible internal processes and tools for tasks and time tracking. Trello? Jira? Not in here! You don't get to work creating native code, but using only internal components of in-house frameworks. It's ok in the beginning of you career, but in the long run you won't actually learn anything new.

      Pros

      - Easy commute if you live north of Seattle/Bellevue - Decent cafeteria - Decent compensation

      Cons

      - The level of apathy amongst colleagues is off the charts. Many people are simply coasting and collecting a paycheck. When you try to be a team player and pick up the slack, you simply become a target for blame. - Due to the extremely lax "return to office" policy, the office often feels quite empty when there is plenty of work to be done. Being onsite M-F often leads to more work with little support. - There is a culture of public shaming, with several meetings every week dedicated to project leads targeting individuals to make up for their own lack of technical understanding.
