Business Outlook

Pros

Fully remote options are available

Cons

Being highly billable to clients is all this company cares about. There’s no logging off early on a slow Friday, because they want all of your time. If you’re not a workaholic with no life, you won’t succeed here

Real Chemistry Response

We appreciate your feedback. We believe that we should expect excellence in our work, but that shouldn’t come at the price of making everyone a workaholic! We offer remote working and flexible hours and have flexible PTO to give everyone the opportunity to recharge and take time away. We will always deliver for our clients, and at the same time we encourage people to carve out time for themselves when they need to, even if that doesn’t follow “standard” working hours. --Wendy Carhart, Chief Communications, Culture, and Purpose Officer
