Pros

Feels good having all the freedom to manage my own time, work, and personal development.

Great colleagues! My colleagues have been really friendly and helpful.

Great environment. Seattle Sphere's a nice place to do self-paced tutorials.

Pretty okay ergonomic equipment.

Free transport card.

Really customer-focused. Really great to be their customer and staff.

Cons

No free food; we get free bananas instead.

Benefits didn't really suit my needs. Everything is still expensive with the discounts applied (apart from the Amazon.com employee discount). My frugal self still saves more without using the other benefits.

Really, the main downside for me would be free food. That'd save me at least $200 a month.

Advice to Management

Management in my team is good, so I've been lucky.
