NWEA Employee Reviews about "work from home"

Pros

Excellent PTO, free parking, good work/life balance (depends on manager), autonomous working environment, good energy amongst staff, decent pay if you are a new hire; work from home or remote is available depending on job description; good environmental programs

Cons

Insurance package and pay has gone downhill; lack of productivity across the business due slackers, constant changes and poor financial decisions; bad upper management structure and blatant favoritism; HR needs to be leveled and re-hired with qualified staff; no career development or growth pathing; org does not exhibit their own values; zero integrity; CEO is an old dog who needs to retire; job titles are given out like candy and not earned;

Pros

Great location (downtown Portland with easy access to transit), Great benefits (medical, dental, vision) + flex pay per check + 6 weeks paid time off + free transit pass + free parking + masseuse on staff, great work/life balance, strong leadership, open communication, growth opportunities, diversity (race/ethnicity, LGBT equality, gender), down to earth management, gym on site, flexible hours, opportunities to work from home, great team building activities/parties, great business plan, intelligent leaders / employees, great future outlook

Cons

Better benefits for spouses/families, equal pay for equal work within equal positions, equality privileges across teams within a department (work from home)

Pros

The QA team with which I worked consisted of extremely helpful and affable people. I really enjoyed working with all of them. The team lead is a dynamic, knowledgeable, and very helpful person. I liked her a great deal. The Senior developer is a wonderful person. Free instant oatmeal and really great hot chocolate. I would really like to have been an FTE employee.

Cons

Constant restructuring resulted in my contract being cut short; two-and-a-half months of a six month contract. At least I got a weeks notice. Management is so disorganized as to be non-existent. The manager I reported to spoke with me twice: my second day where she told me that I could not work from home and sometime during my last week with a 'thanks for your work' flavor. Parking in the building's garage is restricted to 'real' employees only. As is often the plight of the person doing on-site work the feeling of exclusion was quite obvious and uncomfortable. I would not work there as a contractor again.

Pros

Good people, good wage and benefits - until they were sold. Still work from home though.

Cons

Everything at this point - would not recommend, bad benefits and paid very little with seemingly no opportunity to grow anymore.

Pros

Ability to work from home

Cons

Difficult to move up to a different role

Pros

Great people. Great work. This is a company where people do care about the mission, but in a grounded way, rather than being over top with slogans or trite gestures. The benefits for FTEs also look great.

Cons

This is an older company with a more traditional mindset. If you want to drain the barrel of kombucha and ride around the office on a skateboard, this is probably not the place for you, but with work from home, that doesn't matter much.

Pros

Great time off and work balance. Work from home two days a week. The office is nice, too.

Cons

Managers are inconsistent in giving promotions. Expectations for growth are not clear. Few employees of color.

Pros

great benefits, flexible work options, many from home positions. generous PTO . Portland Oregon Culture

Cons

tons of management turnover, loss of direction, purchased other products without much review, not nimble or quick to react

Pros

Work that I am passionate about. Good benefits. Allowed to work from home two days a week.

Cons

Path for growth not clearly articulated. Salary compression within the Content Specialist jobs and inequitable pay. Many colleagues lack assessment experience outside of NWEA.
