Vantaggi
The company has taken some major moves in recent years by building and moving to an incredible GREEN building in an awesome location. The views from the cafeteria are spectacular looking across lake washington and on a clear day you can see Ranier! The people working there all definitely mean well, but at least in my department they were so caught up in a processes that they invented that everyone felt victimized and taken for granted. The pay was competitive with market for my position but probably because I was courted and hired externally.
Svantaggi
Toxic. Of 15+ years of working in the sneaker industry this is literally the worst company Ive ever dealt with, and I've seen some drama along the way! There have been hires in key positions that are clearly just angling for promotions and letting their teams flail and then fail. There is incompetence and worse Narcissism in a key position that cause major turmoil for the entire department. I witnessed outright harassment on multiple occasions and HR having been notified numerous times has taken NO action. Highly capable and qualified team members are fired, or leave, where as under performers and trouble makers are allowed to carry on. HR is not trusted and so there is little to no dialog with managers about the situation for fear of retaliation and loosing your job. When they do ask for feedback from the teams there is a feeling that nothing will happen because of it, cuz it doesn't :/ The company prefers to hire a young inexperienced work force so they can pay low wages and keep the teams 'in line'. Didnt offer obvious benefits like subsidized parking onsite.
