      Pros

      Free coffee Free parking in downtown Seattle

      Cons

      1. The worst engineering management. The most engineering directors were former Amazon employees. They brought Amazon's infamous micro-management to this company. They're not only weak in technologies, but also worst in managing people. They appears to be "busy" but they don't know what need to be solved. To be success in a team, you've to "bootlick" the manager on every single aspect! 2. Poor team culture. Most senior team members just want to be a "lead" so that they just need to talk but leave all work to others to finish. 3. Endless talking, talking and talking. Remember it's a company with full of Amazon's garbage culture. Everybody wants to show visibility by TALKING. 4. 24x7 on-call is mandatory. Everyone is required to participate into "live incidents" what can happen 24x7. All the problems pop up on a live discussion board at Slack.com. You'll need to remotely debug the issues no matter when and where it happens. Remember this is 24x7!!! and the manager won't tell you this before you're on-board!

      Top industry talents keep rejecting offers after interviews

      Business outlook

      Pros

      If you are junior engineer and want to stay junior and never grow, this is a place for you. If you like company politics with coolness and smiles this is a place for you. If you like endless meetings with unrelated stakeholders, there is a place for you.

      Cons

      The culture is monolithic. Unqualified software engineers who aren’t skilled in infrastructure technologies interview senior level candidates for all disciplines such as security, systems, networking and they end up making wrong calls. The bring the best talent and ask them unrelated questions such as writing a piece of C++ code because that’s all the interviewer knows. Then they disqualify the top talent based on that misconception. That’s why the culture never changes.

      Pros

      I worked alongside hard working, passionate, smart people. We worked with leading media companies on high profile projects.

      Cons

      The CEO and Founder of the company was a micro managing, penny pinching, manipulating person that found it very hard to be transparent and honest toward his staff.
