      Cobalt transformation

      Pros

      Over the past 4-5 quarters Cobalt senior and middle management have been upgraded through inorganic hires and reorganization. I think this has created new energy in the company that just wasn't present in the first half of 2008. Subsequently, the new hires that have been coming aboard in the past year seem to be high caliber and they in-turn are attracting the same. The structure of the company changed too, it's now organized around centers of excellence. This, IMO, seems to have brought more focus to the respective groups.

      Cons

      Cobalt feels like a start-up company, great ideas and plans for products and services in a large and growing market, but the company has many customers and support obligations. Not sure this is a downside of working at Cobalt, but projects are vetted and triaged closely, but maybe not closely enough.

      A decent place - better than its reputation.

      Pros

      Good camaraderie and teamwork - for the most part, people work together and share the credit fairly. Plenty of smart, experienced folks around to bounce ideas off and joust with. It's the most casual, laid-back workplace you ever saw, complete with Friday afternoon beer & wine on the house. Flexible work schedules are no problem. The Dilbert quotient is reasonably low in the management ranks. If you know your stuff and pull your weight, you can do well at Cobalt.

      Cons

      High turnover, including alternating hiring and layoff binges. Few seem to make it past even 5 years, and those who do seem to constitute something of an old boys club. A contrarian might consider the churn a possible "pro" as new blood is coming in all the time, but it does little for organizational cohesion. Understaffing in many areas necessitates lots of long days and off-hours work keeping the lights on and projects on track. The current rotten conditions in the auto sector mean constant job uncertainty for all, though that's hardly unique these days.

      I like it at Cobalt - especially Lynnwood

      Pros

      It is a play hard, work hard environment and we have quarterly team outings, beer 30 on Friday's, very casual dress attire, and overall the people are fun to work with.

      Cons

      Although the number of accounts most of us have is high, it comes with the territory and I really do believe managers know this is a challenge and are working on it, but we would like it do be sooner than later.
