Pros

The company has a good product with a creative and inclusive community of workers who are far too talented to work there. I wish I could say a lot of good things about this company, but at this point, I cannot. The entire company is suffering from an overall lack of maturity and the culture is terrible. You are only as good as your last mistake, and that's the mostly positive thing I can say about the company.

Cons

Senior management acts as if they care, but that's all talk. The CEO is bi-polar and has no problem publicly humiliating you. You are only as good as your last mistake. The technology leaders are not as skilled as their team members, but micromanage every single detail as they try to steal your confidence. They talk process and controls while the company is grossly understaffed, so the team carries the burden of process without adequate support. There is an overall lack of integrity and character in every single C Level Executive, a lot of finger pointing and lack of accountability. I genuinely wanted to be happy there but it's far too dysfunctional for that. I wouldn't recommend this place for anyone, not even as a starter role. And the pay is way under current market, plus you rarely, if ever, get a raise. No yearly increases. Even reviews are rare.

Pros

I have been working with Benchmark for a few months and I am very happy about the people around me. I have found constant support and a very good attitude. Both my teammates and my manager have helped whenever I required it and have made me feel as part of the team from day 1. The people from other areas of the company have been always polite, helpful and kind. I have found nothing but cooperation and friendly faces. For me, that is the most important part of a job.

Cons

I had to work three months as a freelance before I was hired (from what I heard that is the normal process for everyone). I have never worked as a freelance before, so I had to learn a few things.

Pros

Employees are hard working people. Free lunch every once a while. Great view from office.

Cons

Horrible upper management and work environment as there is no job security, growth, and raises. Annual performance review - non existent Low pay, constant berating to employees from owner daily. Soulless HR and can fire at-will without cause.
