Pros

- A very good product - Always striving to stay ahead of the ed tech curve - Quick reactions to the market - A casual environment

Cons

- Negative environment with constant yelling, cursing, slamming doors, throwing things at employees, belittlement by senior management - the negative environment created by senior management trickles down to managers who take it out on those below them - there is little chance for advancement once in the company, instead they regularly hire new people at higher levels than those who have been there for a very long time - there is little chance to move to new positions or responsibility even when one expresses an interest directly in doing so - micromanagement is taken to the extreme - benefits are very poor in regards to expected contributions by employees, no bonuses, and poor 401k contributions from the employer - roles and who one reports to are not defined, nor are day to day expectations and responsibilities

Pros

I became incensed when I came across the reviews on Glassdoor and wanted to contribute my own review. I suppose things have changed here at Benchmark because I have a completely different view of this organization. I work fully remote from home. The culture is collaborative. People are NICE and very professional!! The 401k benefits match at 25% of my contributions (not 3 or 4% like most companies) AND they have a profit sharing bonus. It's a very inclusive and diverse company. Thank you, Benchmark. I'm going to reach out to other employees and see if we can 'up' these numbers with positive reviews!

Cons

I wish I could visit the main headquarters and meet my peers in-person someday.

Pros

May be manageable if you are 100% remote.

Cons

If you have to be in the New Rochelle office, it is truly a strange place with bizarre, abusive management. The negative reviews are accurate. You will hear yelling, shouting, cursing, and insults thrown around casually. It’s usually directed at individuals. This comes from the very top CEO - the bad vibes trickle down through middle management and onto workers. Turnover is extremely high, lots of layoffs and outsourcing. Occasional free lunch doesn’t make up for the horrible culture. Systems are convoluted and there’s no real training process or HR, so a lot of times one hand doesn’t know what the other is doing.
