Pros

The pay for office staff is solid, only if you are an external hire.

Cons

Having a chair is considered a luxury, training comes in form of a 1:1 phone call talking over a spreadsheet/powerpoint, I am on my 3rd manager and have met none face to face, there is an extreme lack of understanding of work load from Seattle, you will feel like you have 6 bosses who dont communicate at all, you do not get to participate in your own annual performance review. There is little to no resources outside of tribal knowledge. You will be the manager for people on all shifts, even though you will work days m-f. You will become manager of the onsite vendors and will actually do very little procurement work.

Pros

Really smart people, a lot of opportunity for growth, always encouraged to be innovative, think big, and create something new. Competitive salary and benefits with other major tech companies. 100% self motivating work environment. No dress code and 4 legged friends are welcome.

Cons

You have to be self motivated. NO ONE will hold your hand and tell you that you're doing a great job. If you need constant affirmations from management, this company isn't for you.
