Nice people but bad management

Anonymous employee

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Great location and some great people who are fully vested in providing excellent service to their customers.

Cons

Management and HR don't really have a clue how to get the best from their personnel and so resort to reading books about "trust" in order to try and gain some! Managers have so little actual work to do that they either spend their time getting in their employees way or in meetings dreaming up methods of getting in their employees way. Let people do their job! Favoritism is rife and difficult to overcome for newcomers into the business. As a consequence people are leaving and seeing this even seasoned employees are starting to walk.

One of the Worst Companies to Work For

Pros

Generally good work-life balance, some nice people, great downtown Bellevue location

Cons

One of the most political environments. One Senior manager tried to manage the employee engagement survey by having a lot of "manipulated" activities so employees would rank the company higher, especially his survey.
