Pros

-state-of-the-art building -free snacks and drinks -smart and nice people

Cons

- No 401K match - Little to no performance review. Underachievers seem to be given a free pass as long as they’re part of the ‘in’ crowd or suck up to management - Very little directive in sticking to and hitting project milestones - but because of the lack of performance feedback, there’s not much incentive for employees to stay those extra hours when needed and hit those milestones - Project management is disorganized, and a lot of responsibility falls on individual accountability - There’s an ‘us’ vs ‘them’ disconnect between engineering/sales and HR - Lack of accountability from senior executives - Line management/process-inflexibility of a large company, but the number of employees of a small company. There’s a lot of process overhead, but the company isn’t at that point yet in terms of size or revenue

Pros

No employer is perfect but Impinj makes genuine effort to be the most inclusive employer out there. I can voice my perspectives, have productive dialogue, and really work with my team on the stuff that matters; not focus on office politics or things that take away from my ability to perform my best.

Cons

I can’t think of any right now.
