Pros

Many great, experienced staff are happy to share knowledge.

Opportunities for career growth (can vary by team, but most I've seen have people moving teams and changing titles).

Loyalty: People often stay 10+ years and don't regret it, as far as I can tell.

Fun "on brand" benefits:

  • Travel and wellness benefits
  • 20% off partnered hotels through Expedia's main sites (these can be used together!)

Vacation time, while not a ton is given, is sacrosanct. I've never had a request questioned, even in the slightest; it was an automatic "Oh, sure, go ahead!" given I always gave advance notice.

Chill work environment with a reasonable and relatively even workload, especially compared to the biggest game in town (Amazon).

In my experience, management is friendly and helpful, and talking up to the director level is frictionless as an SDE II.

Cons

Ironically, that sacrosanct vacation time means managers and co-workers often mess with stuff like deadlines or deployment schedules around popular times.

Compensation can be a little "meh" compared to competitors, still livable in Seattle even for an SDE I/II.

Many of the Pros depend on your team and manager. I see some issues or spats on Blind. I cannot corroborate those in my personal experience at all, but I figure it's gonna happen somehow.
