Pros

Rich, encouraging environment for those seeking knowledge in new technologies. Relatively flexible leadership. Fairly accommodating to employee needs (ie. Special desk, chair, other accommodations). Some very knowledgeable people to learn from . Decent healthcare and retirement benefit offerings. Lots of donuts, bagels and in-house team events. Low pressure environment. If you have anxiety working here - go see a professional, you really need help.

Cons

Never expect to be paid commensurate with your skillsets. They offset this by selling you on the generous PTO, fairly lax office environment and frequent equipment replacement/upgrades. Also, there is no accountability whatsoever in any department. I’ve seen one particular member of department leadership (male) openly and aggressively sexually harass a colleague (also a male) multiple times in my presence. If you like getting away with murder, this is the place for you. No one will report him because of the overwhelmingly pro-LGBTQ agenda here which is crazy because the company owner is himself is a pretty well known right-winger (locally). Also, if you’re Christian or conservative, get ready to hear people openly mock your beliefs and viewpoints in front of you - especially if you’re in I.T. / DevOps, etc.

Pros

StrongMind was founded by a true entrepreneur who still leads the company today, and that mindset shows up across the organization. Employees have real autonomy in how they work, and ideas are welcomed from every level. It feels like an all-hands-on-deck environment where people can make an impact. The mission is clear and meaningful. There is a strong focus on supporting students and families, which helps guide decisions and keeps internal politics low. The culture is positive and supportive. People are kind, collaborative, and leadership makes an effort to keep employees engaged and connected.

Cons

Like many growing organizations, there are times when priorities evolve quickly as new opportunities emerge. This can occasionally require teams to adjust focus or shift between initiatives. As the company continues to grow, there are opportunities to further streamline processes and maintain consistency across teams.

Thank you so much for taking the time to share this! We really appreciate it. I’m so glad the mission, autonomy, and overall vibe are showing through for you. That “jump in and make an impact” energy is exactly what we’re going for around here 😊 And fair call on priorities shifting. We’re growing, and we know that can feel fast at times. We are very dedicated to working on keeping things clearer and more consistent as we continue to scale. We are so grateful to have you on this journey with us and so glad you’re part of StrongMind!
