Pros

Many employees are decent to work with

Cons

This company has recently laid off a number of employees due to declining sales. Onboarding was so disorganized and dysfunctional, it's shocking. Some employees were laid off over the phone and never saw their managers again. As an "ergonomics" company, they will not care about your interest, wellbeing, or career growth. Look elsewhere - underneath its pretty shell, this company is not worth it.

Humanscale Response

Humanscale strongly values each of its team members. Unfortunately, layoffs can happen at any company, as a business exercise to reduce costs. That said, we do not take the decision to lay off employees lightly and try our best to make the process as smooth as possible.

Pros

If you get the right manager, you can grow and advance

Cons

What used to pass for a tolerable setup—limping along with a hybrid schedule of just 2-3 days in the office—has been abruptly torpedoed by the CEO's arbitrary decree demanding everyone drag themselves back 4-5 days a week, with zero warning. It's a glaring display of absentee leadership: a toxic "do as I say, not as I do" culture where the higher-ups issue edicts from on high while exempting themselves from the drudgery they impose on the rest of us. To add insult to injury, both Piscataway locations cram office space right alongside warehouses, turning every workday into an assault of relentless industrial racket—endless banging, hammering, grinding, squeaking, beeping, and cacophony bleeding through the walls, making focused work an absolute nightmare and concentration practically impossible.
