Staff Software Engineer • Former Employee
Seattle, Washington, United States
August 15, 2019
Pros: Excellent work-life balance. Excellent colleagues. The company seems committed to serving its customers well, so you can be proud to work there. Very little politics. Most managers are willing to let technical staff drive technical decisions.
Cons: Manager quality can vary; some are excellent, but some are mediocre. Pay is okay but not top-notch, with some attrition to better-paying area companies.
The recent reorganization has hurt morale. People are unclear on the company's commitment to the Seattle office and its products.
