Pros

Good name on your resume, Sonicare is a beloved brand.

Cons

Toxic environment where shortsighted expat leaders rotate in and out on their 3 year contracts and do what they need to get their bonus and move on. Politics everywhere, leaders with huge egos just looking out for themselves, minimal training and investment into people, constant firefighting and repeating the same mistakes over and over, dated campus and buildings, below market pay, and HR is abysmal.

Pros

- Easy commute if you live north of Seattle/Bellevue - Decent cafeteria - Decent compensation

Cons

- The level of apathy amongst colleagues is off the charts. Many people are simply coasting and collecting a paycheck. When you try to be a team player and pick up the slack, you simply become a target for blame. - Due to the extremely lax "return to office" policy, the office often feels quite empty when there is plenty of work to be done. Being onsite M-F often leads to more work with little support. - There is a culture of public shaming, with several meetings every week dedicated to project leads targeting individuals to make up for their own lack of technical understanding.
