Vantaggi

Flat hierarchy provides a lot of opportunity for a wide-breadth of work experience via lateral moves. Openness to cross-functional moves, which brings new perspectives to a team. International work force, especially in global HQ. Good at offering international work experience to employees. Beginning to create a Consumer Lifestyle product portfolio that makes more sense in the "health and wellness" area.

Svantaggi

Flat hierarchy does allow for much team management experience until later on. Continuous cross-functional moves means a lot of lost history and time spent bringing new people up to speed on their new function. Few opportunities for promotion within the company. Recent financial announcements have created a culture that does not value innovation or market share gain (despite statements to the contrary) but rather cost-cutting and retrenching to find a way forward. The move to become a "health and wellness" company is slow and causing confusion.

Vantaggi

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

Svantaggi

- 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.
