TNTP reviews

The working experience at TNTP really depends on the position and direct manager. Work-life balance really varies by position. Some positions basically require employees to sacrifice their personal lives entirely, while others are busy, but manageable. (They tell you in the interview that the average week is at least 50 hours. This is no joke.) The quality of management varies enormously. People seem to promoted to managerial positions on the basis of their ability to meet their goals; actual management skills are evidently expendable. My own managers have been along the spectrum of terrible to pretty good. The culture is intense, and more than a bit arrogant.

The focus and goals of management seemed to shift on a monthly basis. The strict focus on ideas and future planning left little room for management to communicate basic guidelines. All employees have to work a 50 hour work week at a minimum. Yet they claim that they want employees to have a "work life balance".
