Tideworks Technology Reviews

The other reviews on here are very much valid. From not being very female friendly, to the good old boys club, to almost never firing poor performers. There is also a divide between the IT arm of the company & the software arm. The 'president' of the company was put in place when the company first started because the owner of the parent company had no where else to put him. It is very much evident in his management style that there is no experience in running a software company. They have a hard time trusting employees with remote work; the company can't recruit, partially due to it's location; management isn't from a technical background, so policies don't always align with what you'd see at other software companies; no real advancement or training; and morale is constantly wavering based off all the previous cons.

Where to start? The all-male toxic leadership team? The lack of career paths for women and minorities? The fact that new vacancies are filled from outside rather than internal promotions? As other reviews have stated, this place is brutal if you're a woman. We had ONE woman on the executive leadership team, and she left thanks to the toxic environment. There are a few female directors and managers, but they seem to be leaving in droves. Leadership has committed to DEI classses for everyone, but that feels like a hollow promise that is a waste of money since they allow, look the other way, encourage aggressive and horrid behavior. There are so many other tech companies in Seattle, don't settle for this place women. you deserve better.
