Employment status: former

Great company, good benefits but lately direction in MSIT is lacking
Pros: Great benefits (perks, ORCA card, medical coverage, etc).  Get to be involved with a lot of bright people and expose to diverse projects.
Cons: Lately the MSIT department is trying to make the evolution to DevOps but I think that they don't even know what DevOps is and had us SE's in a stressful situation.  MSIT also grew out of control and that resulted in layoffs lately (me included) that had no sense in the criteria used to layoff people.
