Thank you for your honest feedback! We are grateful to see that you would recommend REI to others and are happy to hear that you gained a better understanding of government operations that appears to be valuable to you in your own professional journey. We desire to leave people better than we found them and we trust that was true for you! At the same time, we are disappointed to see that your experience also fell short in other areas. Schedules and working relationships are issues that function at the smaller team levels, so we encourage team members to establish strong lines of communication both with direct managers as well as next level managers as we work to sustain more effective dynamics. Equity and belonging, on the other hand, also have more organization-wide implications and so we encourage people to also be transparent with leaders at all levels as well as with our HR team. Ensuring that all team members experience the best practices that make us a Top Workplace is an ongoing challenge and each person plays a vital role so thank you for adding your voice!

Pros

Ceo is good. Good benefits. 401k, medical plan is good. Decent pto policy. Wfh and remote work policies are good You get to work on mission critical systems and can see impact.

Cons

There is no respect of your personal time. Some dev/delivery Managers have no engineering background except of a degree and they cannot offer solutions. Hence, the dependency on team is so high for every little thing. Folks higher up in the chain engage in activities that violate code of conduct and ethics. Work spouse are common place here. Some people are home grown and in leadership positions and do not know how to handle crisis, and large programs. Some leaders get to move around easily when they cannot handle work complexity, and pressure and due to this genuine folks have to suffer (in short rules bend behind scenes) (open bias). Leadership will stand for their favorites [bias] and save them even after failing to deliver and innumerable customer escalations. Few architects shout and believe they know it all.
