Pros

It is huge and has resources and the people are generally good and culture is usually good.

Cons

Leadership has no direction or vision and they are constantly re-organizing and laying of large batches of people. Then find that they needed those people to get the work done. So the work load increases for the survivors. Every two years there is a new set of executives and they take everyone down a new direction and then two years later there is a shirt in a different direction. HR has said they don't help people anymore - they just work on mass layoffs and protecting leadership.

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.
