Pros

The company culture on paper sounds great and they do offer a lot of courses of continued education. If they like you, there is room for career development.

Cons

They are quick to cover their bases if an employee is not up to par. They expect a lot out of their individual employees, but take very little time in investing with what they actually need. Regardless of performance in your overall job function, they will be quick to write you up for small mistakes and tell you it is purely so it is documented for HR. If you complain about the long hours or bring an issue to their attention, do not be surprised if there is retaliatory action taken against you. They are very quick to low ball you on salary and say 14 hour days are their "standard".

Convene Response

Hi, and thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. On behalf of the leadership team at Convene, we appreciate your candor and courage to be transparent. It is our top priority to also be transparent while doing our best to communicate effectively to all members of the Convene team. However, with any high-growth company that is expanding rapidly, there are growing pains and areas of improvement to work on. We are disappointed to hear that your experience with Convene to date has not aligned with our intention of being a best place to work. Because of employees like you that are willing to discuss the challenges you’ve experienced, we can learn and improve ourselves as a company. As CEO, I am always willing to listen to feedback and make changes where necessary, so we can continue to strive to be 1% better every day. I would like to have an opportunity to discuss your feedback directly. Or, if you feel more comfortable and would prefer to speak with a member of the People & Culture team, we can arrange that as well. Please reach out to my assistant Jamie (jslee@convene.com) to find us a time to discuss. Thank you, Ryan Simonetti, CEO & Co-Founder, Convene

Pros

They push you to utilize your pto. The “we’re family” hits a little different when you have a team that actually cares. Ryan Simonetti is by far the best CEO I have ever met. Treats all employees like equal, very respectful and humble!

Cons

None really, probably former managers that are no longer with CHG.
