Thank you for your comments. Our award-winning culture emphasizes respect, satisfaction and growth opportunity. Sorry to hear your work-life balance wasn't where you'd like it to have been. In a growing company, work schedules can test life balance at times. To assist, we encourage open dialog to share ideas and concerns as well as many wellness programs to maintain the appropriate balance of work, career and family.
Great work environment.
Flexible schedules/hours.
Remote working opportunities.
Interesting projects.
Great professional development for software developers.
- Talented, creative and smart folks
- My earlier company did not have a "professional development" plan; so I am getting used to the 40 hours of professional development offered to by REI to all of their employees; kind of like what Google does for its employees
- The company has a heritage ..This was evident during the week long activities planned for celebrating REI's 25th anniversary
- There are some really good ping pong players...We recently concluded a ping pong tournament
and Friday bagels :-)
Cons
- I know projects are doing this in their own environment, but it would be nice to have a research lab, where latest technologies can be tried out...
