      Back to Basics

      Pros

      The people I worked with are some of the best in the business. Benefits are very good as well. Other reviewers have also called out things like the free snacks, free parking, and casual dress code. Great location in the Bellevue office park. There is a wonderful walking trail around the slough. You may see all kinds of wildlife on your walk, including beavers, herons, and eagles.

      Cons

      After the crazy success, then collapse, of Outerwall, it will be interesting to see how Coinstar moves forward. They truly are back to the basics, and are solely focused on their Coinstar brand of kiosks. Budgets are extremely tight.

      Really fun working environment, innovation focus felt scattered

      Pros

      1. Free snacks in the lunchroom! Awesome ones like Mother's cookies, Goldfish, bagels, M&Ms, cookies, pop, yogurt. You could literally survive on Coinstar food alone. 2. IT Management was supportive and receptive to ideas. I felt like a peer to my boss(es) 3. Free Redbox rentals 4. Good stock options and bonuses 5. Location by Factoria has lots of places to eat and shop 6. Free parking 7. Casual dress code. Jeans, shorts, anything goes 8. Nice people

      Cons

      1. Innovations felt like a bunch of half baked ideas getting equivalent funding/interest. Once they pick something out (coffee, etc) management should invest the time and $$ into making it a success. I don't understand how so many things can start up, build concepts/deploy, and then be declared a failure after so much investment. 2. Pretty large layoff after I left (on my own). 3. The eastside is no one's favorite place to work, sorry but it's true. Lack of good public transport options (no train) and bad traffic. 4. The Redbox side moves more quickly than the Coinstar side. If you're working on both, Coin may feel like a snail's pace.
