Pros

Washington Federal has been in business for 100 years, the strength of the company is very impressive. There is a culture of personal accountability and opportunities to build your own brand while supporting company initiatives. Recently when the tax bill passed Washington Federal gave most employees an additional 5% pay increase on top of regular merit increases and has promised it is the year of the employee and will invest in new technology and training programs. I am consistently impressed with the common sense way things get done.

Cons

Conservative spending on facilities Work load is sometimes unbalanced on certain positions you need to be comfortable and optimistic with an environment of change and growth

Pros

Primarily remote work. Decent PTO after the 4th year.

Cons

Limited staffing and limiting overtime opportunities until the bitter end of potentially missing deadlines, which you are guilted into working. 2% "raise" every January and ZERO merit raises. Gutted profit sharing and profitability bonuses over time. Most recent bonus, which is tied to net profit after dividends, was given a result when the scale was never published. All previous bonuses had a floor-to-ceiling profit scale that showed the targets months in advance of the end of the bonus period.
