Pros

Benchmark is a very transparent, open environment. It gives entry and mid-level people exposure to senior management and business decisions that you wouldn't get at the larger publishers. Those experiences have allowed me to learn a lot very quickly, which is really important to me. The owners seem truly committed to creating the best possible products for children, even if it hurts their bottom line at times. It's fun to be a part of a company with so much passion for their end users, and be a part of a creative product development process that isn't hindered by bureaucratic nonsense.

Cons

The pace is very fast- at times too fast. This is not a place for people who like to coast.

Pros

I became incensed when I came across the reviews on Glassdoor and wanted to contribute my own review. I suppose things have changed here at Benchmark because I have a completely different view of this organization. I work fully remote from home. The culture is collaborative. People are NICE and very professional!! The 401k benefits match at 25% of my contributions (not 3 or 4% like most companies) AND they have a profit sharing bonus. It's a very inclusive and diverse company. Thank you, Benchmark. I'm going to reach out to other employees and see if we can 'up' these numbers with positive reviews!

Cons

I wish I could visit the main headquarters and meet my peers in-person someday.

Pros

May be manageable if you are 100% remote.

Cons

If you have to be in the New Rochelle office, it is truly a strange place with bizarre, abusive management. The negative reviews are accurate. You will hear yelling, shouting, cursing, and insults thrown around casually. It’s usually directed at individuals. This comes from the very top CEO - the bad vibes trickle down through middle management and onto workers. Turnover is extremely high, lots of layoffs and outsourcing. Occasional free lunch doesn’t make up for the horrible culture. Systems are convoluted and there’s no real training process or HR, so a lot of times one hand doesn’t know what the other is doing.
