Vantaggi
Excellent work life balance with onsite fitness center, reasonable flexibility in work hours, occasional telecommuting (great remote access tools). Most employees/contractors are very competent...especially after the major downsizing in 2009 due to the recession. Lots of interest in sustainability, biofuels and other innovations relative to using trees (WY is certified in sustainable forestry and treats and cares for its timberlands as vital, renewable assets).
Svantaggi
Still a big company so still a lot of politics, and managers enjoy and favor their sycophants. Mixed bag on pay, they compare themselves nationally for IT salaries despite the fact there is high demand for IT, and higher salaries, a few miles north in Seattle. Company was well positioned to catch the full force of the recession: 3 of the 4 major company divisions are tied to housing (Real Estate, Building Materials, and Timberlands), so it is still reeling. Significant recovery with current business mix will lag the rest of the economy by 12-18 months so Co is hunkered down. New innovations are probably years away from market.
