Pros

Flexible hours, RSUs when public, ESPP when public, Wellness card. Basically, a better company comp-wise until the PE buyout. A small number of very kind co-workers who drank the koolaid and walk the walk. Fruit. 4 weeks PTO*. Cross departmental mentorship program.

Cons

Senior management is neurotic. Pay is not competitive for frontline while upper management is paid lavishly. The company is disorganized and insular. Must say yes to everything even if it is counter productive lest one is not a team player. Middle leaders will agree to anything to look good no matter how negatively it impacts their teams or the business. Only 6 holidays even though they are "all about" equity, diversity and inclusion. Very difficult to advance without boot-licking. A hot bed of modern Taylorism. Constantly changing priorities with little thought to downstream impacts upon employees or customers. Core values only apply when convenient. *If you are outside of CA they will steal your PTO and not pay it out when you leave since they legally can. Significant levels of time pressure due to arbitrary and unrealistic deadlines. Lots of task masters masquerading as "leaders" who don't actually do any real work. People managers are preferred over SMEs to manage key teams even though they know nothing of how the work is accomplished nor can they mentor their teams in said work.

Pros

During my time at Mindbody, I was fortunate to work in an incredibly supportive team environment. The team was collaborative, fostering a positive and productive atmosphere where everyone’s ideas were valued. My managers played a key role in creating this supportive culture. They were not only approachable and encouraging, but also inspiring leaders who gave me the freedom to take initiative and grow within my role. One of the most rewarding aspects of my experience was the creative freedom I was given. I had the opportunity to explore new ideas and approach challenges in innovative ways, which made the work both exciting and fulfilling. This level of trust and autonomy helped me build my confidence, expand my skills, and develop as a professional. Additionally, the work culture at Mindbody emphasized collaboration, making it easy to share ideas and tackle problems togethe

Cons

While my experience at Mindbody was largely positive, there were a few challenges I encountered. One significant issue was the constant turnover in leadership. This frequent change in management created a sense of instability, as new leaders would often come in with different priorities and approaches. As a result, it sometimes felt like no one was on the same page, leading to a lack of direction and clarity. This inconsistency caused a fair amount of disorganization within the company, making it difficult to align on goals and strategies. The shifting leadership dynamics created some challenges in maintaining a consistent workflow and made it harder to build long-term plans. Despite the supportive team environment, this lack of continuity in leadership was a noticeable drawback.
