Pros

I've worked at Stand Together for a little over a year now, and it's been one of the best professional experiences of my career. Stand Together leverages Market Based Management to guide its operations and if you lean in and embrace this, you will be successful. The community really fosters a collaborative culture where anyone can speak up. Excellent total compensation (particular highlight on the retirement savings & matching, as well as unlimited PTO). In the IT department, there is strong leadership and a clear vision for the future of IT in the Stand Together community. There are also many opportunities for knowledge, training, and overall professional growth as the IT team is "rebuilding". Overall nice offices, with plenty of training and collaboration rooms. Nice kitchens that allow for comfortable alternative workspaces. Adequately stocked kitchen with coffee, tea, sodas, etc. and ample parking onsite.

Cons

The recruitment process can be extensive and sometimes impact a team's ability to add value. Some leaders embrace challenge in theory only. Lack of racial diversity in leadership.

Pros

Easy work and not a lot of it.

Cons

Unclear goal setting from leadership, no budgets or timelines, impact measurement is unspecified. More about narrative than measurable outcomes. Worked hard on documents and projects that led nowhere. This place is great for coasting, but not for serious or meaningful work. CEO showed up unprepared to C-suite meetings and was critical rather than helpful. Even hires seemingly unrelated to politics were exposed to strong partisanship after a while.
