Pros

Pros - Nice office in a great location - Frequent free donuts and lunches - Extremely fast paced - Growing business

Cons

Including the inappropiate and unwarranted touching from the exec team, I can confirm and validate all of the negative comments in other reviews. If you come across this company, what you'll see looks very nice and shiny. But I cannot recommend working here. You'll will be run into the ground and then others will complain about you for not working hard enough. - No work/life balance, you are on call 24/7 regardless of position. Then get written up when you don't touch your phone on the weekends. - No transparency from exec team and upper management - Promotions/Raises/etc are based on recognition instead of actual work. Whoever gets shouted out the most grows the most - Processes and targets are changed so often that something considered "perfect" on Friday is suddenly the "worst" on Monday. - Pay is horrible for the amount of work being done. - Pay is well below the average rate for the same position in other companies. - Very misleading communication internally & externally (look at all of the other review responses for more than 30 seconds) - Co-workers do not respect each other and will gleefully backstab to get what they want. - Not inclusive at all. I consistently witness and hear insluts targeting LGBTQ+ communities and those with mental or physical disadvantages. - Morale is non-existent. - Good people are being asked to resign (I've witnessed this, in person) - Employees are all judged differently and if two people make the exact same mistake, one person is fired and the other will be praised (again...witnessed). - Employees come in sick instead of staying home. But if they stay home it is not respected and they'll get hundreds of emails regardless. - No career growth potential

Thank you for your feedback - I see that you are a current employee. I encourage you to reach out to me so we can discuss your feedback in person. To address some points of your feedback: Inappropriate touching - we do not tolerate any form of sexual harassment and we hold ALL of our team members, including leadership, to the highest bar. We conduct regular trainings to ensure our organization knows that (our most recent manager training was in December 2018 from an outside trainer). Not inclusive - we have a no tolerance policy for any types of language, actions, or behaviors that would make someone feel our company was not inclusive. We are a proud member of the TechTown Pledge to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, we attend monthly meetings (often times, we are the most represented company at the monthly TechTown meetings) and we hold regular sessions supporting these efforts internally and externally. We just held an Ally training last week for all team managers, and we also in the last quarter implemented a dedicated session to the on-boarding of new team members focused on Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion efforts including our Company charter and pledge. Communication/Transparency - we are a transparent organization, we conduct regular all company meetings, and team members are encouraged to contribute to discussions as well as questions of team leaders. We take the advice of employees very seriously and we want to make sure that your feedback is addressed specifically. Please reach out to me, or our CEO, directly, so we can talk through these matters, all of which are very important.

Pros

- healthy work culture fun and smart folks to work with - wear multiple hats get to learn a lot - access to multiple CRE deals nationally so you learn so much

Cons

- new management (could be a pro too) - remote work can make you feel a bit detached if on site visits are not prioritized

Pros

Remote work and good healthcare.

Cons

feels like we spend an awful lot of time with calendars blocked off and quarterly all-hands that don’t seem to say much new. From where I’m sitting, it’s a bit hard to follow the overall direction beyond continued spending like the New York office, additional executive hires and people being offline . At the same time, colleagues seem to be leaving or being let go pretty regularly, which does raise some eyebrows. And if I’m being honest, the recent VIBE survey doesn’t quite line up with what many are actually experiencing day to day.
