Pros

BECU has a wonderful working environment with friendly staff and management. Plus they offer very competitive benefits, tailored to mental/physical health and staying active.

Cons

While receiving benefits is a pro, they limited amount of time you have to take care of yourself is a con. It's hard to get time off and you are required to take PTO everytime you take time off. You may think this is good, but when youre a semi-new employee going thru a health issue with basically no PTO accured, you are pretty much out of luck. Another downfall are the hours. Most week you are working 9 hours a day + a 45 min lunch. Adding in commute time, you're at work for over 10 hours which can be exhausting

Self manage, managers don’t micro manage. Remote work. Great benefits. Good culture. Competitive pay.

There can be lots of changes when you’re hired.

Thank you for sharing your feedback. It’s great to hear that you value the autonomy in your role, the trust from managers, and the flexibility of remote work. It’s also encouraging to see benefits, culture, and pay recognized as positives — those are important parts of the overall experience. We also understand your point about the pace of change, especially early on. Starting a new role can already be an adjustment, and navigating changes at the same time can add complexity. While change is often part of growth and improvement, your perspective is a helpful reminder of the importance of clear communication and support during those transitions. Thank you again for taking the time to share your experience.

Pros

Pretty decent income and benefits. In person social outings from time to time are helpful

Cons

Those who mentioned constant changes are probably understating it. It's tough to manage changes when changes happen faster than change management can keep up.
