Pros

KnowledgeWorks offers very competitive benefits and compensation in some departments.

Cons

Leadership is very dysfunctional. Egos, politics and personal agendas drive business decisions which often result in layoffs / terminations without proper cause.

Casual work environment with many opportunities to learn

Pros

1. Informal work environment where everyone sits at an open desk/cube -- even CEO 2. If you want to learn and grow, you just have to ask. Very small (about 50 employees), so there is an opportunity to wear many hats and to work closely with most of co-workers. 3. Employee satisfaction is very important -- and this includes diversity and inclusion! Leadership truly wants to make all employees enjoy their job and the people they work with.

Cons

1. Changing structure and overall goals means employees must be able to adapt and go with the flow if they want to remain strong and secure. Being an active part of your team is critical to your success during any change here. 2. Open office concept is not for me personally, but may work for others. It's an intriguing way to get people to interact, but definitely not for everyone. 3. As I stated, there is room to learn here -- but remember that we are small, so professional growth does not necessarily mean you get a job title change. If you are hung up on "manager" or "director" in your title, have that conversation early so everyone is on the same page.

StriveTogether

Pros

Umbrella organization tries to be innovative & tackle concerns - great benefits - cons only reflect subsidiary StriveTogether

Cons

StriveTogether main leaders lack human decency & manners, they do not practice at all what they stand for- they capitalize on the "every child needs an opportunity" story to get power and fulfill their own lack of identity issues- they think all their clients are incompetent and everyone else is the problem...Unfortunately main leaders are simply prideful & all they do is play politics at the expense of the vision, it's truly a shame
