Vantaggi
Working for Seattle Software Developers is like working at the edge of space. Most of the clients they work for are actually other tech guys, Microsoft and Amazon Executives and or Entrepreneur's looking for good native code that works flawlessly. There is always some high end execs in the "dojo" on Fridays having some wine or coffee yacking with the PM's and coders and interns from UW that flock here to just hang out in the atmosphere so all of that is cool. SSD cherry picks the best engineers from UW and they actually have a UW room here for students to study. There are numerous restaurants nearby within a block and all of that makes it a good place to work.
Svantaggi
The cons are the parking and sometimes the owners can get hard core about staying late which happens a lot because the contracts are sometimes due within the week, etc. Ownership does pay a commission of 2-5% for PM's so its worth it, but it does get exhaustive. The parking in old towne Bellevue stinks, and every 2 hours the parking guy comes around. Some of the guys in the office created an AI with cams that tell you with 5 minute warning so you have to do the shuffle. We need parking but there is parking its just two blocks away.
