Solid, but not without issues. - Engineer Nordstrom Employee Review

Nordstrom discount is honestly excellent. The work-life balance is also excellent, while still offering solid pay. You'll get paid more at Google or Amazon, but you'll do just fine here salary-wise while actually getting to have a life outside of work and more PTO (than Amazon, at least). The majority of my coworkers are laid back, friendly people whom I enjoy working alongside and learning from. With one or two exceptions. The technology org needed the streamlining that happened over the last year. It was a really unpleasant thing to go through the reorgs as an employee, and morale (my own included) nosedived for a good chunk of 2016, but I do think the org is better off now for having done that. They're making the necessary moves to modernize and bring our tech up to more current standards, and I feel positively about the future for Nordstrom tech in that sense. On the web side, Yuri K has been a bright spot as a director. Tech HR did a review on salaries a few months ago and a lot of people got respectable raises after it was determined that they were making below Seattle market value. You don't hear about that happening often, and it really made me feel appreciated while pushing back against the feeling that in order to really make more money, you have to job hop. Health insurance is pretty good, great 401K matching (4% after you've been there a year), and charitable donation matching. As an engineer, I spend 90% of my time coding. Limited meetings.
