Pros

The mission. The snacks. The extra vacation time. The work from home option. The ability to network and have your finger on the pulse of the tech industry. However, all of this doesn't matter if you're not going to treat your employees with dignity and respect. You have zero autonomy over your work.

Cons

You will endure mental abuse at the hands of CEO and her EA/Chief of Staff. You are told exactly what to do and if you don't do it you will be harassed until you get it done. You are belittled if you share your ideas/opinions. The level of micromanaging in this organization is ridiculous. You do not have a designated desk at all. Relevant organizational information will be kept from you which does not allow you to succeed in your role and you will be blamed for it. There is a lack of clear direction from leadership which affects your work because they are always changing their minds and you constantly have to redo work and the deadlines do not move, meaning you will spend lots of evenings and weekends working. Your coworkers will throw you under the bus to save themselves but this is only because everyone is afraid of getting fired because every couple of months someone is fired for no reason. I highly recommend reaching out to former employees who will tell you the real truth about what is happening inside the Hub from Hell if you do not heed this warning.

We were disappointed to read your comments. We are committed to creating a work environment where people feel genuinely valued for their contribution and have the opportunity to learn and grow. We certainly do have a fast paced culture here, deal with complex challenges and have high standards. That’s largely because we are a non-profit funded by generous contributions from others who believe in our mission. We owe it to them to set the bar high and deliver on our commitments. We are not always perfect, but we’re working on it and we are incredibly proud of the team we have assembled.

Started off great and then everything changed

Pros

When I started the company culture was great. It was super fun, exciting, and welcoming. That was what really drew me into working there. They were full of young, like-minded people where helping to grow the tech ecosystem was on the top of their list. - benefits are really good - vacation time

Cons

- management - in order to grow, it had to be done by accident or they had to see your potential but it had to be up to their standards even if you strongly felt like you were ready to move up - you'd volunteer to help with the transition of something and be forgotten about - they say the listen to feedback and concerns, but nothing would ever be done about it - high turnover rates - no recognition
