      Working at System Office in Renton became just like working at Walmart

      Pros

      Mid-level management and below are the most loving, hardworking, dedicated employee group that I have ever worked with. Compensation and benefits were excellent. For most of my almost 15 years I truly enjoyed going to work every day. Lots of career opportunities now for desperate job seekers, because so many long term employees at all levels have departed.

      Cons

      Upper management became the most disorganized, misdirected, evil, mean-spirited management group I've ever been involved with, including those in the federal government. Money is their God. When the Sisters of Providence slowly surrendered direct management to the non-religious money mongers, the company quickly went downhill

      Trust Issues with DIG leadership

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      The engineering staff is committed to working together and creating successful products. The downtown Seattle facility is nice.

      Cons

      Management wants to turn this into Amazon Lite. Leadership is wrapped up in their own egos, does not listen to engineers, and is not trustworthy. The "good" Glassdoor reviews, clearly written by managers as a knee-jerk response to criticism, are indicative of why the Employee Engagement Survey results were so profoundly poor. The management layer is obscenely bloated- there are nearly as many managers as non-managers.

      Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback and advice. I am sorry that we missed the mark in delivering a great work experience for you. In response to your feedback, my leadership team is taking a close look at our values against those of our parent organization, Providence St. Joseph Health, and finding opportunities to make these values actionable in our day to day work that more closely connects our employees to the Providence Mission. Thank you again for the feedback and best wishes to you in your future endeavors. - Nipun Dureja, VP Software Engineering

      Pros

      Lots of good people with good hearts.

      Cons

      Most all of the current management has NEVER run an organization as large as it is now and just do not have the talent or experience to do so. Some very good people have left and who can blame them. They try to keep the merged families happy but that just makes top heaviness and VERY unclear direction to rank and file staff. Senior leaders push their inability to confront or settle issue with their peers down to the middle mgt. and senior staff level to fight out. Lack of courage, boo!
