Positive Outlook
Approves of CEO
I have been working at Mushy (More than 3 years)
Pros
Most of the company still hires for culture fit, which is why the culture hasn't turned super corporate since IPO. They do a pretty good job of recognizing employees that aren't just top sales guys or engineers. A lot of supportive management who seem to have your best interests at heart.
Cons
There's a lot of dead weight employees that, because they have been there from the beginning, are still there, even though they provide no value. There also seems to be a fear of taking action on management, even after concerns and complaints have been brought up about them.
There's definitely a favoritism among the employees who were there before our massive growth and IPO. It seems that the execs try to make everyone happy and in doing this, important decisions aren't made or the big picture of the decision isn't considered.
Also, they changed benefit providers at the beginning of the year and it sucks. Don't get me wrong, the HSA contribution that Mushy makes is ridiculously generous but the actual provider is terrible and I've had a terrible time and experience with them.[COLOR=#7F7F7F !important]Show Less
Advice to Management
If your employees continue to bring things up, there's a reason. If you're going to keep the culture, then it might be good to dig into why they're saying these thing. Also, keeping people on, even when they're of no value or because there's "no other option at this point" is extremely demoralizing.
