Process

I applied through LinkedIn and received an email from a recruiter a week later.

He called me and briefly talked about the position, asking about my school.

Within a week, I set up an interview with three different 1:1 interviewers.

One of the best places to start your career

Software Development Engineer • Current Employee

Bellevue, Washington, United States

Pros: Compensation and perks are right up there, at least if you work in Puget Sound. Obviously, the enterprise is big enough that there is loads to explore. Excellent work-life balance (depends on the team though). Very friendly people (mostly).

Cons: Easy to get into teams that have flaws. Management screws up a lot, and this could affect your day-to-day activities.
