My experience at this company was bitter sweet. - Anonymous employee Columbia Sportswear Employee Review

Positive environment, great training, pride in products and technology.

Seasonal employees get "up to 25 hours" but I have only been scheduled up to 15 hours a week.

Good work-life balance and benefits.

What was once a pro for culture has now become a con. Uncertainty due to massive layoffs. Remote work has been largely eliminated, and thus flexibility has decreased signficantly. Offshore and AI initiatives to reduce local US workforce. Although collaboration is encouraged, departments are siloed and operate independently which causes significant inefficiencies costing the company millions of dollars. Diversity is also lacking in a number of departments. Over reliance on external consultants instead of leveraging internal expertise.
