Amazing People - Disorganized System of Processes

Business Outlook

Pros

Everyone is super kind and friendly, great Pioneer Square location, cool projects, company parties multiple times per year, strong DEI commitment, stand up desks. Summer bonus and winter bonus. Two personal holidays. 100% health premium coverage. Lots of opportunities for volunteering. Firm wins a lot of awards each year.

Cons

This is a prime example of a company that grew too fast and now has to pretend they aren't laying people off. There are a lot of disparate, non-existent, outdated, or unclear systems for how to effectively manage day to day processes which creates a lot of inefficiencies and over budget projects. Project Managers need more training and better tools & support for running projects. People are either sitting around or so overbooked they can't eat lunch. Career growth is super unclear or non-existent for any of the support staff. Architecture staff is clearly prioritized when it comes to decision making and advancement.
