Pros

I've been here 3 yrs now and it's a great culture full of people who are passionate about being active and running. I don't run anymore but am active and love that you're encouraged to be active (it's now one of our core values) including we have Friday runs now in our calendars that is supported by the CEO on down. I love that my work is challenging and rewarding and its fun to be a part of a growing company. I work in a supportive team and I do see that I can move up the ladder here career wise. I have not experienced the "boys club" and I'm seeing more women getting promoted into the Director and above levels which is great. Comp is fine, benefits are good. I'm sure I could make more $ elsewhere but no way would I have such great people and culture! Of the 5 companies I've worked at (and a 3 have been top Seattle companies) this is by far the most rewarding job and company I've experienced. Brooks is amazing and I'm grateful for such a great culture and the people.

Cons

Growth mode has created some tough times in some teams due to what changes are happening (new systems, changes in processes etc) and we obviously can't work the same way we did as a smaller company and get the same results. Can be risk averse at times and we definitely need to make sure that people who don't align with our culture and values are shown the door.

Pros

My first day was amazing. The company is just the right size for me. Everyone seems to know each other and the atmosphere is really best described as "happy." People say hello to each other, stop in the halls to discuss work and go out for lunch runs. Of course, it is just day one. But, I will keep you posted!

Cons

Too early to tell you.
