Pros

Innovative product, impressive list of clients, accessible management team, nice staff who are increasingly diverse, potential for growth and promotion (particularly in certain departments), possibility to "wear many hats" so things aren't boring, very promising company outlook.

Cons

Growing startups have their share of growing pains. Mecademic is no different. Processes aren't as well developed as in larger companies. While this avoids needless red tape, it can also lead to inefficacies. Senior management work long hours, so do some key staff. Again, very typical of startups, but this might not be for everyone.

Pros

Improvements needed in every level of the organization

Cons

As there are several issues within the company, it is best to break them down in categories: A) Bad Leadership: -Executive leadership and upper management exhibit closed-mindedness and resists embracing necessary changes for improvement. Their approach is rigid and resistant to change, which hampers any progress. -Given various internal politics at play it is becoming increasingly necessary to exercise caution when addressing real issues due to the unpredictable moods and attitudes of executive leadership towards staff. B) Disregard Towards Staff: -The majority of hard-working employees are not adequately appreciated, while favoritism is openly displayed towards others. Diversity has been slowly decreasing while senior titles and promotions are given to the traditional group. -Investment in ongoing education for employees is minimal or nonexistent. -Compensation and benefits provided are not on par with other companies operating in similar sectors. -From what I hear from friends who work at other companies that have real flexibility in terms of work-life balance and working hours, this place seems to disregard or not care for the well-being of its employees. C) Organizational and Business Issues: -The company suffers from a serious lack of communication and cross-collaboration, and this prevents real progress. -Company struggling to gain any significant market share.
