Great workplace, low pay

Pros

Generally supportive work environment, good company culture, management is understanding of the need for work-life balance, good mission.

Cons

The pay is not competitive at all. Loyal and productive employees are not rewarded with any sort of significant pay raise. An annual cost-of-living increase doesn't mean that much if your starting salary is 30-50% less than the industry average.

I love working here too and understand your frustration with our pay scale. I am proud of the steps we took beginning late in 2018 to implement salary adjustments across the organization, using external benchmarking. I am confident our pay scale is competitive, yet we must continue to monitor to ensure our total compensation - base pay, stock options, benefits and development support - reflect our company’s values and our employee’s value to us. Thank you for your patience and for all you contribute to Pivot!

Pros

Working at Berkeley HQ was fun. People were smart and capable. There was room to be yourself and make decisions that impacted the quality of work and integrity of the data coming out of pipelines.

Cons

After another round of layoffs and the closing of the Berkeley location it is clear that R&D has been put on ice at Pivot. New leadership have business backgrounds. It never felt like the science that went on at Berkeley was well integrated into broader decision making, and the shuttering of Berkeley makes that more evident. New employees should be ready for Pivot the be bought by another company.

Pros

Great Mission. Had great talent and good people striving for the mission as a team.

Cons

Greedy, in it for themselves. Poor direction, lack of leadership. Doesn't care about employees or focus of retention of talent. Leadership not truthful in past 2 years.
