Pros

I regret to say that I do not have favorable feedback to offer from my personal experience.

Cons

I had the unfortunate experience of working for Base and it's safe to say that it was one of the most disheartening chapters of my professional life. Here are some key reasons why I would strongly advise against considering employment with this organization: Upon joining, I expected a thorough onboarding process and adequate training to excel in my role. Unfortunately, this was not the case. The lack of proper training made it difficult to adapt to the job, and when issues arose, the support from management was minimal at best. The culture at Base is toxic and demoralizing. There is a distinct lack of teamwork. The overall environment is rife with negativity, which has a detrimental impact on both morale and productivity. It was abundantly clear that certain employees receive preferential treatment when it comes to recognition and career opportunities. Projects, promotions, and accolades seem reserved for a select few, while the rest of us struggle to understand the criteria for such decisions. The lack of transparency in decision-making was a significant concern. Employees were left in the dark about why certain individuals are chosen for key projects or promotions, fostering a culture of suspicion and resentment. My time at Base was a regrettable experience. I would caution anyone considering employment with this organization to thoroughly research and consider alternative options. There are undoubtedly better opportunities available elsewhere, where employees are treated with respect, provided adequate support, and given the chance to thrive in a positive work environment.

Pros

High degree of talent on the team, pay is around market average, people are nice (even if some are faking it), people want to try to grow the company.

Cons

My tenure at Base offered me a unique perspective on its operational and management challenges. Unfortunately, my experience was less than satisfactory, primarily due to issues in leadership and organizational structure. Firstly, the company appeared to be struggling financially during my time there, as evidenced by staff reductions and a palpable concern about revenue. This situation, in my opinion, significantly impacted the work environment and employee morale. Moreover, I observed a distinct hierarchy and severe interdepartmental competition within the company culture. This perception, coupled with what I perceived as a lack of professional development opportunities, contributed to a feeling of job insecurity among multiple colleagues. Another point of concern was the professional conduct within the organization, particularly in the upper management. Instances of inappropriate remarks, tardiness, and unclear direction were frequent. This behavior, unfortunately, seemed to reflect a broader issue with the company's leadership ethos. Finally, the strategic direction of the company was unclear to me. There seemed to be a lack of a coherent vision for the future, which, in my view, hindered the company's ability to retain and attract new clients effectively. While I had hoped for a different experience, I believe these observations highlight areas for potential improvement. I recommend prospective employees and clients consider these points when evaluating their engagement with Base.
