Pros

Salary reviews once a year based on performance.

Cons

Minimum benefits. No insurance, no savings account, nothing. Only IMSS and decent PTO. In the Monterrey office there's a lot of playful teasing, but once they cross the line you get the cold shoulder from the team if you call it out. A lot of the teasing can grow into uncomfortable situations, specially if you're not into adult jokes or sexually suggestive comments. The senior back-end team is infamous for this type of "jokes". HR is a joke and doesn't handle this type of situation since "boys will be boys".

First, my apologies for just now seeing this review. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and concerns. Since reading the review last night, we talked about the review’s contents during this morning’s senior ops team call, it was the last communication in today’s all company global call, and we had a specific call amongst executive management. To be clear, we have a zero-tolerance policy for anything felt as harassment. “Boys being boys” will never be tolerated or accepted. Being a small company, we don’t have a formal HR department but it is a priority to build one as we start growing to the next revenue level. In the meantime, I committed to the company in having an anonymous outlet to raise concerns when a team member is not comfortable voicing to our executive team (we are the owners) or a local lead (Mary or Ivan in Mexico, me in the US + Globe, Jim in Switzerland, Edwin in Singapore). I committed to having this in place by March 31, 2025. I regret you had this experience working at MSIGHTS and welcome an opportunity to talk further about this with you. Hopefully you still have my email and mobile contact details. - Scott East

Pros

I could not list all the great things about MSIGHTS. The people are awesome and become very close friends, the environment is casual but very productive, we work hard together and we play hard together. The work can be intense and very stressful at times but you never feel alone or overwhelmed because there is always a team member to pick you up and remind you not to fret. Knowing your whole team supports you is a great feeling. I love MSIGHTS, it has made working full time a blast.

Cons

Be prepared for a high learning curve, high priority tasks, and some rare days when your stress level is through the roof. But also be prepared for the generous team members who are more than happy to help you out when you're plate gets too full or you need a refresher on how to do a task. Everyone is super helpful, super friendly, and always willing to lend a hand. I highly recommend.
