Pros

I enjoyed the flexibility of work schedule, seeing the dogs around the office, and fresh fruit being brought in.

Cons

You put in a lot, and I mean a lot, of hours and this gets you absolutely nowhere. This place is run by people who need to grow up - not cool for a 40+ year old high-level executive to get kicked out of bars- and they need to learn respect for their employees. But this will never happen as they prefer to be a frat house, and if you don't fit in with them, you will not get promoted nor will you get a raise. The pay is extremely low for the Seattle area and in my opinion, a few free beers or glass of wine does NOT make up for a decent paycheck. The benefts are horrible and 401k doesnt even kick in until you've been there for 3 years, but not many people want to stay that long. This place also thinks being vulgar and saying unprofessional things is something to be proud of. There is even a weekly competition to whom said the most vulgar thing - completely unprofessional- But they think it's cool and this is what they consider "culture". When an executive has to send out an email stating condom wrappers have been found in a room used by lactating mom`s, there is a huge problem. This is the worst place I've ever worked so learn from my mistake and don't take the job! There is no salary, no benefits, rampant cronyism, and no chance for promotion. What I described above describes their culture and if you're willing to sacrife the above mentioned items for free alcohol, then this is the place for you. If not willing to make that sacrifice, look elsewhere.

Pros

• There are some great people at POSSIBLE • Fun company activities especially if you like drinking • Decent work/life balance • They've managed to convince everyone in Seattle that they're the best place to work

Cons

I've never worked for a company that tries so hard to convey that they're different and that they care about their employees, but then their actions tell a completely different story. Have some integrity. • No employee-training • No clear process given on how to get a raise or a promotion - vague answers by HR seem to be a run-around • Management is very inconsistent - people who are too young or have played politics in a way that only benefits themselves and not the careers they manage • There are the chosen few who have become the darlings of management and then the rest of the POSSIBLE folks who slug along until they figure out the game they can't win • Near cult-like mentality around company events, company meetings and company culture that masks what people aren't getting out of the company in terms of career growth • Many promises made but none kept
