Pay scale is ridiculous for the area, and there is no room for upward mobility - Anonymous employee Sea-Bird Scientific Employee Review

Pros

Stable employment, have been here for 15 years. The benefits outside of the salary are good. 401(k), and yearly profit sharing, if company meets it's operating budget.

Cons

Part of that "operating budget" is to keep the cost of employment down. The way they do that is keeping wages lower than competitors. Seabird does not pay as good as many of the companies in the area, and certainly does not pay enough to live in Bellevue or the surrounding areas. Many of the employees commute from Everett or Kent. Another really positive benefit, has been flexibility. Seabird is *very* lenient with CAL time and start/leave times. (within reason)

Pros

If there is one leader in this organization with a deep, hands-on understanding of manufacturing and supply chain, it is the VP of Operations. He operates at a level that is simply the strongest Sea-Bird has ever seen on fundamentals, close to the details, and able to connect strategy to execution in a way that drives real results. His coaching has elevated not just his direct team, but multiple functions across the organization. If anything, he is often the one bridging gaps and raising the bar.

Cons

Limited visibility on decisions and alignment on what truly matters for the business as a whole.
