Pros

Great retirement plan. company is stable and doing well. Its a medium sized company so there's more flexibility than a large company.

Cons

Very old culture. Things feel a bit like a dinosaur. Company doesn't have strong name recognition. Numerous folks in leadership that shouldn't be in that position.

Pros

It is a steady job in a less than perfect economy. Employees are generally friendly and helpful to one another

Cons

The management of staff in some departments is by fear and intimidation. They tout themselves as being employee-friendly with promoting a healthy work/life balance but their actions and demands do not match in many departments.

Pros

Some good senior managers Met some interesting people Nice locations in San Francisco (right on California and Montgomery) Attempting to grow pension plan My only positive experience is that I feel that some senior managers I worked with could help take the company to the next level. However crippled with so many horrible line managers I don't think that will be possible unless a major reorg takes place.

Cons

Horrible line managers Horrible tecnology More red tape than the DMV Petty politics Office favorites rewards incompetance lower comp I worked here for a short to medium amount of time and couldn't wait to get out. Middle and line management is probably the worst of seen anywhere. Alot of ex Wamu people taking over and trying to create the next Wamu; tons of hiring of ex wamu types. My major gripes with management is that they basically doom themselves to failure by not understanding how to properly go about defining what they want to accomplish, no understanding of or commitment to technology, inability to make rational business decisions under time pressure, and cases of rather extreme favoritism. Quite honestly rather than me actually coming into work they should have just sent me a check for 40 hours work let me use my 5 year old computer to do their work in 2 hours for what took their 11 year old computer 8 hours to compute.
