Pros

McKinstry as a whole is a very good company. Kind, passionate, well intentioned people. Pay is generally aligned with industry standard (with the exception of commissions for sales).

Cons

The insurance is a huge pain to navigate. It's good, but prepare to spend about 5-10 hours a month just trying to get it to pay out. It's a big company, so it can be difficult to advance your career unless you really want to play the politics game. As with any job, the most important part of your success is going to hinge on your supervisor and if they support you. Unfortunately, the commission structure is bonkers for account executives - they designed it so you'll have to wait many years to see the full payout, and similar firms have a much clearer path to success. It felt like they just kept moving the finish line, and I got tired of that really fast (a little over 2 years).

Pros

Decent salary and PTO policy Onsite gym for a fair monthly price Cool rooftop golf setup Nice little taco truck nearby outside

Cons

This place has extremely poor leadership and is very toxic at every level. Prepare to be micromanaged, ignored, gaslit, and shown zero empathy for heavy workload or personal emergencies by mediocre middle managers. Principals are checked out and are too busy creating new promotions for themselves and drinking wine at the CEO’s ranch. The bonus structure and profit sharing is laughable and a complete lie from what is listed on Workday. Annual raises aren’t even competitive to inflation. The C-suite executives are only focused on blatant nepotism for their own kids and relatives. HR puts people last and only cares about the company image (typical at most companies but they don’t even try to sugarcoat it). They force people to come in (3) days a week but they don’t even have enough parking. There is a cafe that sells mediocre food with typical expensive Seattle prices. The healthcare package is complicated, expensive, and relatively unknown to all providers. As a billion dollar company, they go cheap on the company holiday party and literally just host it at the office.
