There is lots of work to be done.

Highwire does not promote from within and offers no internal career progression. Additionally, the CEO is inappropriate, cocky, unprofessional, and rude.

While not everyone earns promotions, it’s in our company’s best interest to provide our great employees with meaningful career growth, and we do. It’s important to consider our recent organizational growth. When current management joined in April 2021, the company had 16 employees (some of whom are no longer with the company). Today we have over 65 employees! So by necessity, we hired most of our current team from the outside. Many of our employees have been at Highwire for less than two years. Nevertheless, in the past twelve months, we’ve promoted eight employees to new positions and provided merit raises to another eighteen folks. We think that’s pretty darn good. Your characterization of our CEO, Don Fornes, does not align with my personal experience. I worked with Don for five years at his last company and was excited to relocate to Boston when he asked me to join him in this new venture (a few of us followed him here from that last company). Don is very accessible and genuinely eager to get to know people at every level. He is happy to meet with candidates during the interview process, just ask!
