Pluspunten

The mission. Interacting with bright students.

Minpunten

I've taken a while to write this review. When I first started at Minerva, I had noticed that management seemed to lack the experience and skills necessary to lead their teams effectively. Unfortunately, what I thought might improve over time, as team members gained more experience working with one another, actually began to get progressively worse. Teams are stretched and burnout is inevitable. Managers expect their direct reports to work more than what is sustainable, in an attempt to make up for lack of human resources. Roles are not clearly defined, meaning people step on other's toes left and right. And though Minerva is no longer a "start-up", it very much operates as such. But what I'm most disappointed by is the fact that opportunities for career growth are essentially non-existent. Employees are given "opportunities" to lead events or projects, but without the resources needed, it often feels as though we are set up for failure.
