Great People, Poor Experience - Senior Associate M+R Employee Review

M+R is a wonderful place to work. The union benefits are world class, truly. The work is meaningful, coworkers are lovely and competent, and even when I disagree with decisions made by leadership I can tell that these choices come from a place of thoughtful consideration and a desire to do the right thing.

The biggest cons are that the current workload exceeds our 36 hour workweek, leading to regularly accruing flex time that people struggle to take. M+R generally has a really strong feedback culture, to the point where it can prevent honest conversations for fear that it will negatively impact colleagues growth. It can also be exhausting when you get close to a promotion and you have to have constant conversations about performance and growth until all stakeholders are on board, while also hoping company needs justify the promotion.

great benefits, remote work, cool clients, great people

lack of clarity internally with policy, too many responsibilities for some positions
