Pros

I joined because BECU is a Purpose & Values driven organization. The compensation packages are fair, but not great. The benefits are excellent. I am excited about the future with our new CEO, Vision, and Strategy. We're not a perfect organization, but I see the organization moving in a positive direction. LOTS of internal mobility & promotions from within.

Cons

There's been a lack of balance between people first and business first. Have had a heavy focus on people, namely employees, and a lack of focus to make difficult decisions to drive & grow our business to support our members. Need to focus on and make time for talent development. Can be difficult being a new leader to set expectations that seem standard in other organizations or in alignment with industry standards, but are seen as "raising the bar" for performance.

Pros

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

Cons

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.
