Things are not always what they seem

Pros

Fantastic ancillary benefits: home office allowance, continuing education opportunity, FSA, Commuter benefits, home internet & cell phone reimbursement. Three weeks vacation per year, plus sick pay.

Cons

Don’t let these great benefits fool you, though. The group I reported into was highly toxic and micromanaged. I was yelled at, told to just do my job and not ask questions, berated and questioned for everything, priorities constantly changed - oh, this program didn’t work, let’s try that…all the time. I went to HR and leadership about this situation and NOTHING was done. I was told by the President to tell the person berating me that their behavior was not acceptable and they needed to adjust their approach. We are adults and I honestly should not have had to do that. The fact that so many people left the company because if one person’s behavior and nothing was done to address it was enough of a message to me to leave the company.

Pros

-Great work/life balance: flexible work schedule, work from home days -Strong team members: I've enjoyed working with all of my coworkers across various teams. Pavia has had great success in hiring smart and capable talent, yet these are some of the nicest people I have ever worked with. -Culture: environment truly fosters team work, team building, and is not ego-driven -Upper Management: it helps to like the people who lead the company, and no complaints here; George, Si, and Steven make you feel welcomed and cared for -Communication: This has vastly improved in the last year, as far as communicating goals, current standing, direction, etc... -Opportunities for growth: stagnation is not something I've witnessed here. New tech and new ideas are encouraged, and desire for self-growth is rewarded -Extras: benefits, snacks, coffee, beer, ping pong: all the perks you might expect (or hope for) in a Seattle tech company I truly enjoy working here. I love my job, and am not sad come Sunday night. Though we have days we work remotely, coming in to the office is very pleasant; the view is beautiful, and the coworker family is a big plus.

Cons

-No reimbursement/support for career development -No formal review/feedback process (this may be coming down the pike) -Compensation may be slightly lower
