Pleasant environment, unclear career path - Anonymous employee Undercurrent Employee Review

tight knit group family business that has grown to be pretty popular

so tight knit that your weakness can be magnified

The most amazing and most consistent thing about the company over the 5+ years I’ve worked here is that it’s a place where incredibly smart and curious people come together to see if the famous Margaret Mead quote is really true - “Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it's the only thing that ever has.” The company culture is fueled by an ambition to change the world for the better, and just enough naive optimism to believe that it’s possible. The result is that 1) nearly everyone you work with is a pleasure to be around, 2) you’ll feel like you’ve got a rocket booster on your career, and 3) you get access to incredible clients from day 1 (very senior, and very large-scale).

Because of the fast pace and the high-performance culture, Undercurrent can be a bit unforgiving. It’s a sink or swim kind of environment, which works great for people who thrive on that challenge, but can be a challenge for people who need more support.
