Once again Executives are tone deaf

Anonymous employee

Pros

Benefits for a family are good. If I didn't need to pay for health insurance for my family, I would not stay.

Cons

Executive leadership continues to put more and more pressure on the people doing the work or the managers of those people. Then they change the pay scale to make it impossible to get a raise as a mid level manager or below. So, even though you say it's not a pay decrease, it is as people count on those annual increases and the levels that you matched people up to the work is sometimes $15K difference. Additionally, the difference between Western Washington and everywhere else is absolutely asinine.

Great people, very out of touch leadership

Pros

- Many of the people are amazing - the teams doing the everyday work are hardworking, passionate, and come for the mission - There are pockets of the company where change and modern cultural practices feel possible / in the works - Pay is decent, benefits are pretty good

Cons

- Leadership across the board is completely tone deaf. They hear feedback and do the opposite. The most toxic leaders get promoted. They are very out of touch with the teams actually doing the work. - Especially at the leadership level, interview and hiring practices are questionable. No idea how some of the leaders got hired in the past few years (skill set for the job was clearly not there) - I personally never felt like leadership cared about me, my security, or my belonging at the company. My team did, but leadership didn't.
