Pros

Free catered lunch every M/W/F (that's literally it as everything else is standard with any full-time position)

Cons

Incredibly cutthroat business, very slow paced unless you have a high position, the environment is incredibly unwelcoming to new people, HR is the most aggressive and unprofessional I've ever seen, people will seem nice but it's all fake. The company doesn't care who you are unless you've been there for a long time. If your work becomes even the slightest bit unnecessary they will cut you out at the soonest opportunity.

Developmental feedback is always difficult to take. Building a team that is dedicated and single-mindedly focused on making a better experience for our customers is a struggle that we take on every day. We don’t always succeed and sometimes a MindToucher gets left behind or feels left out. That seems to have happened to you. This is unfortunate. The HR team and everyone at MindTouch who truly cares about our mission will certainly take these words to heart as we continue to grow and improve. I wish you all the best on your onward journey. Please feel free to reach out if you have any further feedback. - Aaron Rice

Great community. Lots of growth opportunities. Fun product to work on. Diverse teams.

Cons

Executive communication is not always clear. Got acquired and lost the community feeling. No 401k match.

Pros

This is not a place if you like predictability and keeping to yourself. After years in a bureaucracy, I switched to working at MIndTouch and it was everything I had hoped. Management is supportive, encouraging, and creative. They also trust in their team and allow for much creative initiative and input. It's a job for real grownups who have ironed out their family issues before they walk in the door -- that is, do not come here expecting your hand to be held. You will need to be the type who jumps in and begins contributing positive work and energy from the first day. If you do so, and you treat people with respect, I think you will like it here. The people here are friendly and smart, and truly like each other -- very refreshing. They are growing, so things are a little crowded and chaotic for the time being, but it's more exciting than disconcerting.

Cons

Benefits. Lack of 401K matching and childcare savings accounts gave me pause after having those benefits for so many years. Those things matter to a more experienced work demographic and it will not help when recruiting women and people over 30. The demographic is very young and single which can contribute to a little bit of immaturity in group interactions and choices of group activities, but nothing terrible. An HR officer would be a good addition to smooth things out as the office is getting too big for the C-Suite to manage many operational, staffing, and cultural details.
