BECU reviews

Too woke and too much focus on diversity equity and inclusion.

- Management has changed how they approve bonuses. We used to consistently get 100-125% of our target bonus, but that has dropped every year I've been there. They always find some excuse to not payout the full amount (ex. a couple of years ago, we were denied our full bonus amount because a different team in our division didn't hit their goals - but we had entirely separate goals that had nothing to do with each other; another example: last year our goals kept changing because our team leadership changed 4 times in less than a year and the director at the end of the year didn't like the direction that the previous director chose for our goals so we didn't get our bonus) - Raises are completely arbitrary. They have annual reviews that grade you in multiple categories 1-5. The year I got 5's across the board, I got my lowest raise ever. But my lower rankings came with larger raises. Make it make sense. Note: You can probably expect a 3-4% annual raise (which in no way keeps up with inflation) - Empire building is becoming a huge problem. Be prepared to play politics if you want to stay and/or move up in the company - HR investigates complaints against HR, so nothing ever improves in that department - Leadership pretends to listen. They'll make skip levels, but none of the feedback results in any changes - Some managers will reward you for working overtime for free (not logging your hours), and punish you for choosing not to work overtime (even though they say it's not required). There is no work-life balance and if you try to make that balance for yourself, you'll be pushed out
