Pros

Benefits, hours, ERGs, community commitment

Cons

Duplicity of leadership, providing one set of instructions, and then using that to hang you out to dry. Assumptions of ill intent on all actions.

Thank you for sharing your experience so candidly. We’re glad to hear that you find value in the benefits, work-life balance, ERGs, and the organization’s commitment to the community. These are important foundations, and it’s good to know they’re making a difference for you. At the same time, we hear how difficult and disheartening it can be when leadership actions feel contradictory—when guidance is given but may be misunderstood, or when there’s an assumption of ill intent rather than a presumption of goodwill. That kind of environment creates unnecessary stress, undermines trust, and makes it hard for people to do their best work or feel secure in their roles. Your advice is powerful: calling out past mismanagement only matters if there’s a real effort to learn from it, not repeat it. Consistency, fairness, and transparent communication from leadership are crucial to moving forward in a way that honors both employees and the mission. Thank you again for your honest feedback. It’s critical for helping us reflect on how we can continue to lead better, support better, and create a healthier workplace.

BECU IT Dept

Pros

Plenty of money to spend

Cons

Too many new leaders in the tech space. They do not understand the environment and dont take the time to figure it out. The organization has ignored long standing problems, failed to address them. New people fight amongst themselves and are not honest. Its a terrible IT shop, would not recommend to anyone.

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We take your concerns about micromanagement, and layoffs very seriously. As the organization continues to grow, and as we focus on being able to help even more members in the future, we've made investments in the senior leadership levels that will impact employment down their chains. Layoffs are something we never take lightly and are a last resort. We will ensure we share your valuable feedback with the appropriate channels, so that it may be used in future considerations.
