Pros

Good pay, but not good enough for the extreme cost of living in Seattle.

Cons

Management mandated 5 days work from office starting in 2025 (previously was fully remote from 2020-2022ish, then 3 days in office for 2023-2024).

Upper management does not have your best interests in mind. Lots of politics, even if your direct manager is good.

Disappointing yearly 'raises' and disappointing promotion raises.

Advice to Management

No to 5-day RTO.

Compensation needs to drastically increase to account for the time and money spent on horrendous Seattle commuting and the cost of living.

Do not charge employees to park for work.
