Pros

None I can think of at the moment, but I just accepted an offer at another organization.

Cons

Facts: 1) There were several all hands meeting after the layoff, but I am still hearing the Executive Leadership didn't answer all the fundamental questions. 2) Management still didn't disclose how and why those decisions were made. 3) They demoted several experienced employees. Some of the position that are impacted includes(Developers, QA, BA, TA...etc) 4) They demoted the few "Black" experienced workers and promoted the "white" workers. They also gave more money to those they decided to promote. 5) The executive leadership changed BECU core values overnight. 6) The executive leadership should have "Own It" to "Do the right thing" As a result, I have sent a note to all my family and friends to stop banking at BECU. Questions : 1) who demotes a developer who had 15+ years experience from industry leading organizations. 2) who layoffs people and tell them they don't have the right skill or lack competency 3) did you know a lot of people are morally impacted with this decision 4) what are you going to do about it?

The recent changes to the BECU Tech division were made after a thorough and extensive process, and involved difficult decisions. As we have communicated to employees, the reorganization was a critical and necessary step for BECU as we strive to meet the ever-evolving needs of our members and the credit union. Our values are at the heart of BECU and guided how we communicated the recent changes and we continue to provide opportunities for employees to address questions directly with leaders. Our goals remain to treat all employees with respect and dignity throughout the reorganization. We are committed to continuing to recruit and develop a diverse workforce across BECU, and ensuring we are best able to serve our members in support of our purpose.

Pros

As of September of 2021, I cannot recommend working here.

Cons

BECU recently laid off dozens of employees, mostly developers. Looks like they're going to replace all the devs with Infosys. I no longer think they are trustworthy and cannot recommend working there.

Thank you for your time in sharing your comments. We are always evaluating our organization in order to best serve our members in support of our purpose, but reducing headcount is not our goal. We use Infosys to help support multiple initiatives but they are not used as a replacement for any employees or roles. We remain committed to continuing to recruit and develop talent across BECU, including in our Tech division.
