This is John Tobin - I wanted to let you know that I saw your comments and I am sharing your feedback with others in leadership roles. It is important to me (and all of us) that our employees are receiving competitive benefits and we are actively working on this. We pride ourselves on exceptional work/life integration and I like your comments about having a "Great atmosphere." If you have further thoughts, I’d like to hear them. Please give me a call at (206) 374-4221.
•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 Teams operate in deep silos, the internal tech stack is outdated, and there is a distinct lack of adequate project and event management software.
