Pros

People are amazing, You’re encouraged to move about the company and try new things, Flight Benefits (although not what they used to be) are nice, 4 weeks PTO starting.

Cons

Pay - very very low for the area and near impossible to negotiate up once working there (even for fantastic work). Bonus is small and no stock options for many positions. Work/Life Balance - depends on the position but generally work overtime each week. Work From Home - policy was just changed to include 2 days/week for most positions but doesn’t seem generous enough (especially considering pay).

Pros

Good work environment and culture. Leadership is strong.

Cons

Terrible compensation practice. Outdated approach, especially with corporate back office roles. Leaders have zero say in salaries. The compensation team has an outdated approach to pay and are not open to stay with the current market trends and challenging to partner with. There needs to be a willingness to change and align with the local job market. There needs to be an openness to listen to leaders' input. Its hard to hire and hard to attract retain good employees when we are competing with local employers in the Seattle area that offer better pay. It is very challenging to work with a compensation leader and team that do not listen.
