Pros

Fun environment Great perks Meaningful work.

Cons

When the new CEO came in it was clear he had plans to sell the company as there was no communication. Employees who were once their best assets were treated like they didn't matter. Also, this is not the best company for diverse employees. There are few to no diverse management leaders. They give lip service to diversity but their practices disregards the successes of excellent diverse employees.

Pros

Amazing company culture with lots of flexibility and work-from-home options. Great opportunities for career development. Surrounded by many smart, driven people. Reasonable workload - never felt overwhelmed or had to work too much.

Cons

The company has a bit of a legacy feel, so it's not as modern or fast-paced as the big tech companies in Seattle.

Pros

Autonomy and trust were the highlights of my time at Coinstar.

Cons

Leadership often changed directions and there was a lot of turnover in the department at the time I was at the company. As a fully remote employee, it seemed like the people at headquarters were viewed in a different light and I never really felt "part of the team."
