Not the best place to work as an engineer

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

The office setting is innovative and inviting Employees are approachable and helpful The company believes in creating and maintaining a positive culture Executive staff is highly transparent to employees with matters of the company's direction Open PTO Snacks and drinks provided at no cost to employees Bagel Friday (Exec-Staff gathers to let us know what is going on in the company) Orca Card provided Company is growing by leaps and bounds which makes me trust in my job security The Executive staff is approachable, down-to-earth and does not bring arrogance into the workplace

Cons

Not a lot of people of color (need more diversity) need more culturally driven events that will help employees of diverse backgrounds have more relatable events to participate in and others a chance to learn more about their co-workers backgrounds (because Cinco De Mayo should not be the only thing recognized)

Pros

Great people, good pay, decent benefits. Lots of autonomy.

Cons

Don't expect to get rewarded for hard work if you're a woman. Women don't get ahead at Impinj because executives don't value/promote them. Lots of passive aggressive vibes and things aren't always what they seem. Good culture comes with caveats which are sometimes unspoken.

Impinj Response

Thank you for taking the time to share your perspective and comments. While it is nice to see your positive comments, my focus in responding is to address your perspective on gender diversity at Impinj. Impinj takes diversity seriously and has made good progress working on its own and with other Seattle tech companies to actively embrace and drive diversity. Along those lines, in 2016 Impinj was pleased to announce its support and partnership with Ada Academy, sponsorship of three participants in EverwiseWoman, and its ongoing work with WiRL. Moreover, Impinj has recently hired several senior-level woman, and there have been internal promotions of woman as well. As with any alumni, I invite you to visit with me personally about your experiences. It would have been great to do so and to be able to address your views while you were here, but even after-the-fact you can be part of making Impinj a phenomenal company, and I hope you will accept my invitation to do so. Sean (Sr HR Director)
