Pros

Strong company culture (in the past) Great colleagues and teamwork Opportunities for growth early on

Cons

at WaFd Bank for several years and truly loved my time there for the majority of it. The company had a strong culture, great people, and felt like a place where you could really make a difference. Unfortunately, in the last few years, things took a turn. Unrealistic goals, non-competitive products, and an overly micromanaging manager made it difficult to feel successful or appreciated. Today, I read that WaFd is no longer offering home lending, and while it’s disappointing, it’s not surprising. The writing was on the wall during my final years with the company. It’s sad to see a company I cared for so much continue down this path. I hope they can turn things around, but as of now, they seem to be moving further from what made them great in the first place.
