Pros

Great work life balance, flexible hours. Very welcoming and understanding company culture. Good benefits + company events, great communication between managers and employees. Yearly promotions are pretty consistent. Not the most diverse, but clearly putting in effort with DEI seminars and an overall accepting/welcoming company culture.

Cons

Compensation is quite a bit below average, particularly for the west coast. Higher starting salaries would really help offset the cost of living in this area!

We appreciate you highlighting the aspects of our culture and workplace that you value, including our flexible hours, strong communication, a focus on diversity, equity, and inclusion, and benefits. We are especially proud of our benefits package where Raftelis pays 100% of our employees’ medical and dental premiums, 50% of our employees’ dependents medical premiums, and 100% of our employees’ short and long-term disability insurance, life and ad&d insurance, employee assistance program. Raftelis also provides employees’ a Health Savings Account match, and generous 401(k) contributions. An employee’s total compensation is important to Raftelis. Regarding your comment on compensation, we appreciate your honesty. While we strive to offer competitive pay aligned with industry standards and regional benchmarks, we understand that perceptions of compensation can vary, especially in regions like the West Coast, where market conditions are unique. Thank you again for your input and for being a part of our team.

I’m thrilled to hear that you’ve found Raftelis to be a great place to learn, with an amazing culture, strong leadership, and a supportive environment. These characteristics are critical in being a great place to work, and it’s wonderful to see them reflected in your experience. I also appreciate your candid feedback regarding compensation. We understand that affordability can be a significant challenge, especially in areas with higher living costs. We recently engaged with compensation consultants, developed a new compensation philosophy, developed an additional career track for consultants, reviewed market data specifically for our data services team, and adjusted salaries effective the first of January. Your input is vital in helping us identify opportunities for improvement, and we are committed to addressing challenges thoughtfully.

Pros

Raftelis seems to care about its employees and treats them well. My manager is very understanding and receptive to taking time off. I work remotely and am able to work flexible hours, as long as I am available during business hours. Raftelis also seems to care about company culture; the company regularly schedules company retreats to unite the different offices, and makes a concerted effort at promoting DEI. They also have some good benefits, including free health insurance and discretionary PTO.

Cons

The salary range of my position is not competitive with other similar software jobs in Washington state.

I am happy to hear that you feel treated well, appreciate your understanding manager, and value the flexibility and work-life balance the firm offers. It’s also great to know that you recognize our commitment to providing comprehensive benefits. As noted, Raftelis pays 100% of our employees’ medical and dental premiums and 50% of our employees’ dependents medical premiums. A robust total compensation package is important to us. I also appreciate your feedback regarding compensation in areas with a higher cost of living. While we strive to provide competitive pay across all regions, your insight helps us better identify areas for improvement. Thank you again for your honest review.
