Great opportunities for career growth

Pros

Working at Comprehend has given me the opportunity to expand my technical skillset beyond what I could have achieved at previous companies. Management is great about encouraging employees to seek out projects that they are interested in and to become involved. They are constantly evaluating and implementing new technology which makes the work interesting and fun. It is realistic to maintain a reasonable work/life balance working at Comprehend. Management and company policies are very flexible in terms of working hours, travel, time off, working from home, etc. Working at a startup like Comprehend is an exciting, faced-paced environment. You learn a ton and gain exposure to aspects of running a company that you might not get elsewhere.

Cons

With a fast-paced environment typically comes a lot of change. Often that can be good but is also something you just have to get used to.

Pros

- Feedback is a conversation and leaderships is communicative but not intrusive - Lots of work means many opportunities to shine on small teams - No micromanagement allows you to take initiative and achieve best results in projects/tasks - Good benefits and managers make you/your work feel appreciated and valued

Cons

- Uncommunicative people might not enjoy the open atmosphere of the office - Can be difficult to separate from your laptop after work - Would be use to have a product demo for all new employees regardless of the group they work in

Pros

- Has potential to be disruptive because pain does exist in the market - Unique office in Downtown Redwood City with typical startup perks; surrounded by good eateries, bar; close to Caltrain - Some hard workers

Cons

- Leadership is partly immature and partly egocentric - Politics have taken over in the last 12+ months and negatively affected company culture; very uncomfortable at times - Poor execution of the vision multiple times - Inconsistently follow process across all departments - Low morale; high attrition - Little career growth opportunities

Thank you for your feedback. Comprehend just hired an internal Human Resources team that will eliminate a lot of concern listed here. Having internal HR personnel will help by having someone dedicated to really understand the business, what its drivers are, it’s objectives, its needs and the needs of the people within the business. We are taking the time to read through all the feedback. Thanks again!
