Pros

clean, they give you snacks

Cons

In the 6 months I have worked here I have worked enough hours to have worked a full year. In my orientation they stressed how they have a strong belief in their employees having a work/life balance but since then I have rarely worked a week below 60 hours and I have worked several 84 hour weeks all mandatory. At the beginning they would have me here Monday-Saturday but in the last 3 months it has turned into Monday-Sunday and I have only gotten a day off after working 13 days straight. If I have to leave early or take a day off for anything including medical care I have to use my paid time off and I have to use as many hours as they decide what my shift would have been that day. it is always at the least 10. If you only like to get a day off when state law mandates you have to have one then this may be the place for you. I understand that this is not the experience for everyone in the company but this has been the experience of most of the people in my area of the plant.

Pros

Exciting work and a fast paced environment.

Cons

How does a company that prides itself on its culture continue to employ someone who is the former head of compensation at a company that is currently involved in multiple lawsuits and investigations around discrimination, including discriminatory pay practices against women?

Pros

Fun and thorough onboarding experience. Very open and communicative culture with an emphasis on transparency, trust, and inclusion. Awesome product and company vision. A genuinely mission driven company which takes action to meet it ecological responsibilities (working towards a sustainable future is more than just lip service here, it's built into an increasing number of decisions and processes). Opportunities to work directly with decision makers and earn personal recognition from leaders of varying levels. Company frequently updates policies to remain competitive and desirable to employees. i.e. recently got rid of 1yr cliff and annual vesting for RSU's. Now there is no cliff and shares vest quarterly.

Cons

Low wage: Even with a strong resume and what felt like an awesome interviewing experience, $27/hr was the best I was able to negotiate for my role as a Sr. Field Specialist. From my research, $27/hr is about 10% less than industry average for similar roles and does not feel commensurate of the duties expected, especially when considering the premium associated with living in the greater Seattle area. Also, 4% match on 401k is less than I have enjoyed at other smaller companies with less funding. Don't have enough info to know if this is a pro or con, but my comp also includes $27,000 worth of RSU's which vest quarterly over 4 years.
