Pros
- People and individual team culture is great. - Good work/life balance. - A wealth of knowledge that we have access to in our research.
Cons
- Terrible, below market compensation. - Ever since former CPO, Sherri left it seems empathy and humanity left with her. Executive team makes decisions based on George's personal MO without considering how it'll affect the "little" people. - Required 2 days/week in office policy implemented after George soaked up the positive attention from The Boston Globe article promoting "anywhere work." - No data or research to back up the return to office mandate. Saying that employees contribute "energy" to the office is a really funny and ironic reason. Especially for a research organization. - Executive team has completely lost touch. After laying off 80 people, some executives joined the next company meeting mentioning their second/ third vacation homes when most employees don't make enough money to afford ONE home. Get a clue. - After changing our PTO policy, pausing promotions, merit increases, and laying off 80 people, HR announced free access to Headspace--a meditation resource. Is this a prank? It feels like a prank. Where is Ashton Kutcher hiding? - The company does not invest enough into sales enablement, constantly changes product offering and access and simultaneously puts the blame on sales for our 2% decline in annual revenue. - Predatory policy against anonymous questions posted in company meetings. Many of the people who were vocal about concerns were laid off. Coincidence? I think not. - HUGE lack of diversity on the executive team and company as a whole. They try to make up for this by hosting DEI events but it is very clear that the company actually doesn't care about DEI. This is made evident by the lack of thought to accessibility and socioeconomic concerns with the return to office policy.
