Pros
some nice perks and good work life balance although they are taking that away with the rto announcement
Cons
There’s a common theme of announcements being made with lack of forethought. A reorg was announced without any information to be given, including new role descriptions and compensation. And then, a return to office was announced without any additional information as to increased benefits or pay to account for the return. They also accidentally announced this early by mistakingly making the document available internally before the announcement. I strongly caution anyone from joining at this time as leadership is lost and they make snap decisions that hurt employees as a knee-jerk reaction to a tough market and an overpriced stalling product. They send out quarterly employee satisfaction surveys that aren’t completely anonymous, even though they say they are, so nobody responds to them genuinely, so maybe that’s why leadership tends to come off so tone deaf. There is little to no upward mobility currently and there will be an exodus of employees after the recent rto announcement which, for many people, was the last straw. The culture is ok, but fairly cliquey. There are great people there but middle management is made up of people who were in the right place at the right time and weren’t trained correctly, if at all, for their role. Not even a cost of living pay increase this year even though everything in Seattle is more expensive than ever
