Pros

Great people to work with. Family like environment. Lots of events by "Fun Committee" for internal office events

Cons

Very low salary. Salary rate is based off of Portland, even if you are living in Seattle. Not flexible with work/life balance. To avoid traffic, I asked if I can work 7:30 to 4:30pm. Upper management said yes but whenever I left at 4:30, he gave me an attitude. Upper management always left at 4:30pm to be with kids, but did not allow that with others. Does not let you work from home; on the day we had 'snow apocalypse', I had to come in because 'everyone else were able to make it' to the office. Many people lived close to Seattle and living in the suburb, it took over 2 hours just to make it in.

Pros

Wonderful, friendly, and welcoming people for the most part, from senior management to support staff. Casual work environment.

Cons

Company seems to be stuck in a bygone era, at least in terms of processes. Not necessarily a good environment for a millennial, or someone who is used to being in a more high-tech, paperless office. Lack of communication at times. Lack of training and cross-training. I was taken aback by how often I received, "I don't know" as an answer to my questions. Online training guides and materials would help. Benefits are good overall. However, the PTO is just so-so. Very open floor plan, so everyone can hear everything, both good and bad.
