Some great people to work with.

IT Management does not listen to the Engineer even when concerns are valid. Workload is not evenly distributed between engineers. Direct Management is not responsive to direct reports. Direct Management for some depts not aware of the time needed to maintain back end infrastructure.

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.
