      Pros

      - Work life balance is good most of the time, but there have been projects that have required me to work weekends in order to meets the client's "deadline" - A lot of happy hour events, which allows you to really get to know your coworkers - Many fun extra-curricular events through the year

      Cons

      - Salary and overall benefits package is well below average compared to my peers (with the same job title) at other companies - Only two weeks of annual PTO (no sick days) - A lot of people (including myself) seem to just get thrown onto uninteresting projects that we may show marginal interest in - I feel too much like a "yes" man while at work - Too much staff augmentation projects - Generally not challenged enough

      This is John Tobin and thanks for the "positive outlook" response and your feedback. Since I live in Seattle, feel free to stop by or schedule time to discuss any of this feedback you have in person. I will share this with the Seattle leadership team especially your desire to be more involved in considering your next engagement.

      Pros

      •There is an impressive budget, especially for high-level events, ancillary experiences, client giveaways, and premium swag. Management does not hesitate to fund top-notch brand experiences when needed. •The company offers a highly competitive benefits and perks package that remains a strong selling point.

      Cons

      •The "fiercely human" core value does not match daily operations. Collaboration is routinely replaced by a self-service model of training videos and help articles. •These recurring shifts are designed to manufacture the appearance of fiscal stability for the benefit of external stakeholders and clients, while leaving core operational deficits unaddressed. •Organizational maturity is low. Teams operate in deep silos, the internal tech stack is outdated, and there is a distinct lack of adequate project and event management software.
