Pros

Bagels, Snacks, and Coffee! Bonuses are nice, and benefits are good.

Cons

I have work at the company over 5 years, and the company has been going downhill from there. Management has big egos. Mangers dating fellow employees, and playing favoritism between employees. Mangers do not have anyones backs but there own that causes high turn around rates.

Pros

The Digital Group: - Offers some competitive salaries for developers in Seattle - Has some interesting technical challenges - The group has a warm, welcoming feeling - Digital Group managers are technically minded and seem committed to improving the platform through: - Adding automated testing and tools - Cleaning up technical debt - Recognizing strong contributors with promotions (and some raises)

Cons

Worst benefits I've ever seen: - No health until the 1st of the month FOLLOWING 75 days of employment (so ~76-90 days) - One may not take vacation/sick/personal time for the first 6 months - No 401K matching for a year (and their match is only 0.5% per percent up to a whopping 2%) - No stock options for a year (actually typical) As for the Digital Group itself: - The group is growing rapidly, and has reached the point that organization, management, and finding ownership of problems has broken down - The group has too many poor- and non-contributors on the team that take up space and get in the way of progress
