Good job but company is undergoing lots of changes
Software Engineer • Current Employee
Seattle, WA
October 24, 2025
Pros: Work-life balance has been historically good.
Cons: Significant organizational restructuring, including layoffs and offshoring, has impacted morale and job security over the last few years. High attrition as many roles are seemingly being replaced by offshore teams. Total compensation has become less competitive, as RSU grants were not renewed so everyone got a pay cut.
