Pros

Decent pay Good benefits Many great co-workers Good place to add to your work experience while looking for a step up if you stay on contract.

Cons

Managers live and work in another state and only involve themselves to demand overtime when poorly planned projects are in distress. Misguided and poorly implemented switch from waterfall SDLC to Scrum leaves all old and new projects unplanned, poorly staffed, and disorganized. Demands to meet unrealistic deadlines mean no innovation, efficiency, or job satisfaction. Umpqua offers no training, performance feedback, or interest in your future. Company culture is disconnected from the reality of work in EIM. No accountability, many seat fillers waiting for retirement create more work and drama for good employees.

Pros

Columbia Banking System has been a great place to work for thus far. The environment is enjoyable and the company itself is virtuous.

Cons

There is quite a bit of downtime in-between customers, but this is also a pro because it means there is ample opportunity to get more customers through the door and banking with us.

Pros

Great People, generous Vacation and Sick time, and decent facilities.

Cons

Poor communication from leadership. Typical "Good ol' Boys Club" type politics, and too many convoluted policies and procedures to keep up. Hard workers are awarded with more work, while others are allowed to skate by under the radar.
