Pros

Company is taking on major transformation projects which is great and much needed.

Cons

This should theoretically be an amazing time to be working here. But if you have worked hard, develop yourself and your skills in other organizations and joined because of the organization purpose, you’ll be disappointed to see your job outsourced to external consultants who do everything for you while leadership keeps you in their back pocket instead of actually managing their teams to deliver. We have consistently squandered our members’ money on consultants while we HAVE ALL THE SKILLS AND TALENT in house, already on payroll. If you want to further your skills development and career by working hard and learning new stuff, stay away. You are just a number to justify leadership’s senior titles, while other people do all the work.

Pros

BECU is the rare financial institution with the combination of size 1.5 million members and 30 billion in assets and heart, no shareholders so when we say Members first we really mean it as we are a Member Owned Cooperative whose goal is to give back to our Members and the community. This is the best company I have worked at for living its values and purpose.

Cons

Like many FI's process can be slower.
