Pros

The lower-level company culture seemed pretty good. Everyone I worked with was always friendly and helpful. My immediate boss was great and did a wonderful job advocating for our group.

The pay and benefits in the Seattle area were respectable. Not amazing, but I would say slightly above average. I was pleased with them.

Cons

So much bureaucracy and red tape. No one knew how to actually get anything done. Every single project felt like it was the blind leading the blind through a maze of red tape. The meetings were endless. Meetings about upcoming meetings. It wasn't uncommon to spend half of your workday in meetings that were barely relevant to your job but you were still expected to be there for some reason.

Advice to Management

Cut down on the red tape.
