Avantages

I gave two stars instead of one because the inclusion and diversity team was extremely supportive and the HR representatives I worked with were kind to me and at least heard me out. Ultimately, though, nothing substantial was done to prevent the discrimination, forcing me to have to leave.

Inconvénients

Recently, they have started becoming stricter about employees having to be in the office, to the detriment of their disabled employees. It became more and more difficult for disabled employees to be given permission to be in the office less than 3 days a week, even if their job had been successfully performed remotely. I had managers who stood up for my needs for a few years, which allowed me to do my job. Unfortunately, a new manager joined the team who was outwardly discriminatory and fought tooth and nail to deny my accommodations despite my having successfully done my job almost entirely remotely for 3 years. I made myself sick just to sit in an almost empty office building multiple times a week doing work that could have been done remotely. Her disdain for my disability then bled into her overall treatment of me and I made the choice to leave. She is still at the company. After my departure, my role was posted on LinkedIn with a special message about the role requiring certain levels of physical endurance - effectively stating that the manager did not want to hire another disabled employee. That was ultimately what solidified my decision to write this review.

Avantages

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

Inconvénients

- 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.
