Pros

- Great location in downtown Seattle. Close to the public market. - Work-life balance is generally good - OK on benefit/salary

Cons

- People who are buddies of some upper management seem to get unjustified raises and promotions. I have seen very qualified employees who never get promotions and very little raises. As a result, these quality employees left the company and moved on. - Too much office politics. You don't want to be on the wrong side of these managers and their buddies for whatever the reason or you're doomed. It was exhausting and not easy to focus on 'the real work' 100% of the time.
