Pros
* Great coworkers * Casual dress code for IT * Close to the Bellevue transit center * CEO seems to be genuine
Cons
* From an IT perspective the CIO has surrounded himself with 'yes' people. Any suggestions for change/improvements directed at said 'yes' people are ignored and not filtered up. * Recent organization changes have caused more VP's and managers, which now feel the need to micromanage IT employees at the front line. * Flexible work schedules are going, going, gone * They tout work/life balance, but expect you to be available to stay late/work weekends regularly. * Women in upper management positions are few and far between (if they are in upper management, they most likely have been there since the Safeco days) * Longevity is looked at as a bad thing. It is very thinly disguised they are looking for younger workers (the 20 something crowd) to fill the open positions to bring in fresh thinking. Total disregard for employees who have grown with the company; you have become irrelevant and outdated.
