Pluspunten

Work within a gifted, compelling, & caring community. Renewed assurance (from the top) of the inclusive principles that form an excellent workplace. Freedom to survey new roles and opportunities.

Minpunten

Lack of ownership at the highest level of the technology organization. Principal-level employees jumping ship or being forced out. Unqualified managers are given teams with no oversight or support. Patterns of verbal and passive abuse propagated at the C-level permeate down into the rest of the org. Hippo driven development. Non-competitive pay. Carrot on a string-based review cycles. Qualified individuals overlooked for external hires. New candidates will be paid as high or more than existing individuals regardless of tenure. Constantly moving goalposts. No positive outlook for any of the above to be corrected in the next year. Any review of this company that doesn't specifically mention the tech-org should be ignored. The technology department works in its own, highly dysfunctional way.

Pluspunten

Remote work, decent benefits for some things. If you thrive in high stress/high pressure situations, with constant change & pivoting priorities, this place is for you.

Minpunten

Kin having the value “Operate lean; deliver more” should tell you pretty much everything you need to know about working at this company. There is little to no training yet the expectations to produce & perform are very high. Flexible/unlimited PTO is part of the benefits but if you feel like you can’t ever take time off because you’re so busy with work/deadlines, it’s not really a benefit. Not to mention, the time leading up to taking more than a few days off is SO stressful trying to get everything done or ready to be handed off that you question if it’s even worth it. Burnout is a very real thing at this company. They terminate people quite frequently here so you are often in fear of losing your job which adds another level of stress on top of everything else. While they are flexible, the work/life balance is poor. Working evenings & weekends is frequently necessary to meet deadlines.
