VP - Technology
Highly intelligent peers. Challenging work. Great blend of technology and finance. Cordial work environment. Amazing views. Seattle (at least) values work-life balance (not so much at other locations). Many peers have been with the company for 10+ years. Robust subject matter expertise makes for great learning opportunities.
Completely opaque pay-for-performance (salary, raises, bonuses).
Churn at lower levels.
Quickly evolving senior leadership, without much visibility of direction.
Lack of C-level leadership onsite (good and bad, feels like a satellite office).
Lack of aggressive recruiting and higher salaries stymies ultimate recruiting opportunities.
Large organization...
Daylight the salaries and bonus opportunities.
Hire for managerial talent, don't just promote to that role.
Embrace the PNW culture to help drive a healthy, successful satellite office.
Visit the office, sit on the floor.
