Toxic Environment

Pros

There were no pros to working here.

Cons

Everything about this job was a "con." The company is run by 2 founders who perpetuate an environment of toxic masculinity. There is no communication from the top down -- there were multiple occasions where teams were not told about major changes (payroll schedule, vacation policy, benefits) until senior management was asked about them directly. This is NOT a place to work for someone who wants any semblance work-life balance, and often an employee is expected to stay until 9 PM or later each night. There are literally no benefits and the founders are not understanding of any personal interests or passions. I learned nothing while I was working at NewtonX, and no opportunities for growth were offered to me, despite being promised this during the interview process.

Pros

They pay slightly above market rate.

Cons

The leadership at this organization are LIARS -- they make promises and refuse to stick to their words. This is in regards to leaving early (which at this job is before 8 PM), health benefits being available, taking advantage of a "free gym membership", and being able to grow and learn new skills. They have shady business practices, and are years behind building a platform that many other expert networks already have more effective versions of. Do not expect to have any semblance of work/life balance, as the Executive Team has been known to call and text employees at all hours of the night and on weekends. This is including not leaving the office until 9 or 10 at night most nights. They claim this is all "part of the start up culture", but as a start up veteran, I know this is just time mismanagement. This job is tedious and mind-numbingly repetitive, with no growth opportunities. The leadership team does not care about this. They only care about building a product that can be sold. I urge everyone who works there to get out. There are many other opportunities out there where you will be respected and grow as a professional. You deserve a work/life balance!

Fake reviews and gross business practices

Pros

Your coworkers (not management) are usually great, very smart people

Cons

The only thing this company cares about is revenue, revenue, revenue and creating the facade to external parties that all is well within the company. The truth is that there is rampant dissatisfaction and frustration with all aspects of the company, culture, and management. There are several fake reviews before this one written by management as if they are from the perspective of associates. Don’t be fooled. No current associate would dare to write a review for fear of being found out and fired. This company doesn’t care about hard work. As long as you sit at your desk for 11-12 hours then they reward you solely based on that. If you want to learn, develop professionally and have real career prospects please choose any company other than this one.
