Pros

Good opportunity to learn new skills and get international experience. Some good people there and a fairly relaxed atmosphere around review process.

Cons

Too many different businesses and technologies to have focus. Lack of vision from leadership leaves people wondering where the company is heading. General culture is depressing and dysfunctional.

Business outlook

Pros

Fast growing, high paced environment with a global touch. Very intelligent people with great innovative ideas. Everyone is very friendly and makes and effort to be friendly. There is a new wave of leadership that has come in which makes this place an even more exciting place to be.

Cons

Communication can be a struggle at times, but it is getting better as we continue to build out the strong leadership and departmental relationships. Offices are located in Renton which can be quite a journey for those that live near the city.
