Pros

co-workers for the most part are ready and willing to help mostly remote as far as I know at the moment lots of people want the company to be better first year of the company is drastically better than following years yearly promotions, often with responsibilities that you've undertaken for months though. The Austin/Houston and Mexico office teams are full of the best people in the company, but I'm not sure how many of them are left

Cons

-CEO -work/life balance -constant fear of being fired -CEO -will spend equal time reporting on what you're working on versus working on those things -yearly bonuses are dangled based on projected earns, you can hit record highs with the company and they will still not pay them out 100% -people are afraid to disagree or speak up so there are yes men and people that will blame anyone else for mistakes or - culture of shoot first ask questions later

I would like to provide additional context on our company culture and what motivates us to be the best-in-class software solution for compliance management and ESG reporting systems. We consider ourselves to be a passionate team of innovators who are obsessed with customer satisfaction, speed of development, and quality of our product. This single mantra has driven us to create one of the best EHS and ESG solution platform that is backed by outstanding service and support. Our customers expect the best from us, and we always strive to achieve that. We are one of the very few companies where junior developers will have an opportunity to work with leaders and senior management directly and this engagement is an outstanding opportunity for team members to not only learn from the best, but also to shine and be recognized quickly. Those who have worked with our CEO or Senior Management understand that we are obsessed with providing the best solution to our customers and hence we expect excellence from every one of our team members. We do not believe in bureaucracy, instead reward people for their initiative, creativity, and innovation. Those that work hard and perform are rewarded with promotions and merit increases before their normal review cycle. Similarly, if we achieve our financial goals and targets, we celebrate that success in the form of YE bonuses. We are one of the few companies that were able to issue substantial bonuses despite the pandemic related challenges experienced industry-wide in 2020; as well as substantial base compensation increases at year-end 2021. We recognize that we are a fast-growing company and understand that we need to stay nimble and institute changes rapidly simultaneously balancing this approach with a rewarding work experience. For some, these changes may be difficult to adjust to dynamically, but for those willing to go above and beyond have the opportunity to enjoy a flat structure where creativity and initiative are nurtured and exalted often and even ostentatiously. I encourage you to reach out to me or any of our leadership to discuss career options and opportunities with us. Chief Product Operations Officer, Benchmark Digital

Pros

Technology/product was ok, able to do customizations

Cons

Toxic work culture, period. Leadership demanded so much and were condescending that affected employee morale. There were only a couple managers that were great to work with. It was very micromanaging that you had to use a certain font style and color for your emails. They change the company name every few years and focus on non-important items. It’s sad because the company could be good with different leadership. Work life balance is also a struggle. Your mental health can take a beating.
