Carnegie Dartlet reviews

Pay is low, especially for lower level, less experienced staff. Promotions are given out but are mostly meaningless (title without added autonomy or responsibilities). There is a core cohort of people who joined the company at the right time and were given positions in upper management (of the digital team). Everyone else hits a glass ceiling below them. Yet these managers had no previous management experience and as such, a lot is overlooked and there is a lot of mismanagement. Upper management is either completely unaware of the toxicity at the lower level, or willfully ignorant. Innovative ideas are often met with a “no” first. Managers don’t advocate for their teams. In general, there is too much ego and not enough willingness to ask, “how can we be better?” Also, the higher education industry is not up-to-date with most digital trends which can limit the amount of innovation possible even by effective teams. There are also some goings on across the company which would be HR nightmares if the company had HR. Little to no inclusion or diversity. CEO making inappropriate comments to female staff. By the end I felt that I had no one I could talk to about my grievances. Overall, I wouldn’t recommend accepting a job at Carnegie Dartlet unless you live in the Westford area and want to learn digital marketing skills before jumping to a better gig.
