Pros

Nothing to say here. They do what they must but fall short in many ways.

Cons

Where does one begin? This place is a Shipwreck!!! PERKS: No such thing. No incentive to try harder! They work you to death; no work life balance; there is a pseudo coaching program but no one knows how to coach; poor management; one can advance as long as one is popular; not based on ability or skills. SEATTLE OFFICE HORRIBLE MORALE!! Everyone is stressed out!! Management is disorganized. Tax department is out of control - poorly run. IMMHO - this is not career building!!! These folks are completely out of touch with the real world and the needs of their employees.

Pros

Good thing national teams allow remote work opportunity because there's not enough space in the local offices anyway, but you might just end up working after hours more often than not.

Cons

No pay raises year after year which is an actual pay decrees when taking into account inflation, fake "flexible" PTO, required to work 45 hours a week without any overtime, raises, bonus, or any financial reward which actually matters. You have to do ridiculous workday feedbacks, and self review every quarter but it means nothing because they don't even consider the feed back you've received when laying off. It is your job to find work, and when there is't enough work for you it's your fault, not leadership's. You get promised new projects and they are always delayed for months at a time and many times nothing even comes out of it. Pretentious company that likes to call itself "family" - only red flags here.
