Pros

Collaborative culture. A good start for a new grad. Not so bad compensation. Seattle is a beautiful city.

Cons

Not a so clear future.

Too much competition. After several years, your growth is likely to slow down and plateau.

Too much politics. Sometimes you wonder how those people ended up in upper management, although they cannot understand a simple piece of code.

Advice to Management

They need to get rid of some sales and marketing people who have no idea of innovation and get some innovative, real technical guys in the upper management.
