Pros

* Interesting work that makes a difference in peoples' lives. In fact, we literally save lives by helping contractors and insurance people stay on the ground instead of climbing up on roofs. Serious injury and death from falling really do happen. * Fun environment, great co-workers. * The pace is fast, but usually not hectic. There are occasional crunch times and needing to work long hours, but management is serious about keeping it to a minimum. They're apologetic when it happens, but also very appreciative of the effort. * Well-stocked kitchen with tons of snacks. It's mostly shelf-stable junk food, but they try to include healthy options like fruits and vegetables too. * We're in the middle of a big push to modernize our infrastructure and technologies. It's a little painful for the time being, but it's definitely going to make things go more smoothly when it's done. * Part of getting with the times includes more emphasis on things like unit testing and CI/CD. * Bonuses are paid quarterly. * We're finally going to get a 401k match in 2019, although it's not a huge amount. Hopefully it's going to improve gradually over time. * Salaries have been low in the past, but they're improving. * There's a pretty clear vision of how to move the company forward. It seemed a little risky at first, but it's all coming together nicely.

Cons

* There's a ton of work, but not enough people to do it. * The engineering teams are slightly too large because we don't have enough product owners. * Small numbers of teams with lots of projects to work on means juggling multiple things at the same time. There's a lot of context switching. * "Unlimited" vacation is not good. Just like other places that do it, it creates pressure to not take much vacation for fear of abusing the system. * Revenue depends a lot on weather, which determines our bonuses and other funding. It's kind of messed up, but bad weather means good bonuses. * People tend to stay connected via chat and email outside of office hours and while on vacation. * We're ditching our cubes and moving to an open floor plan. I've got mixed feelings about it. Side note to anyone reading this: if you're interested in a product owner position, please apply! We need you and will kiss the ground you walk on if you do a good job. Another side note: I see one review on here mentioned bed bugs in the Bothell office! I've never heard that before, but it's worth noting that they're going to be moving to a cool new office very soon. Hopefully "no infestations" is part of the contract on the lease.

Thank you for your review! We are excited about the changes we are making as an organization, including our new Bellevue HQ, 401k match, open floor plan, and organic seating arrangement. We are working to greatly expand, not only our engineering capacity in 2019 and beyond, but also add resources across the business. EagleView will continuously review our team structures and make adjustments to ensure we have the right people, in the right roles, and with the right objectives so we can all be successful together. Please feel free to send any other ideas or feedback to HR or the leadership team.

Pros

- GREAT team and great managers. Our team leader and our business unit leader are great people. With good leadership skill. They offer helpful advice; for business communication, teamwork, and strategic thinking. I can't think of anything leaders on my team could improve. If I had a suggestion, they would listen, even if it was not possible to implement for some reason. - Great customers. GIS is a great field. It's fun to solve problems with geography. People in this field are always nice to work with, across all sectors. - Work from home. Managers trust their team. To get things done on time, act professionally and responsibly, stay in touch, and monitor project priorities and adjust as needed. They check in, and review things as needed. But no unnecessary red tape. They trust us to loop them in when appropriate.

Cons

- No big ones really. Pay is somewhat in range with the industry. Hopefully will see raise this year.
