Pros
Made some great friends with co workers through work trauma bonding. Medical benefits were good. WFH is always nice. PTO was a joke as it was "unlimited" yet they don't let you take a day off without finding your OWN coverage.
Cons
I worked at Mynd for 1.5 years and have never experienced a more toxic and chaotic work environment in my 11+ years in the industry. Upper management was always changing and no one in the higher held positions had any leverage or say in anything. Everything was dictated by one person who had no day to day contact with employees and was completely unaware of what was really going on. The "bonus" structure changed every single quarter and each quarter they made It more and more unobtainable. Instead of telling us they were broke, they would make up bonus metrics that were not even close to realistic. When managers spoke up about the metrics and data not even pulling correctly due to many nuances, they were silenced. Too many layoffs in my short time to count, and every time they would immediately just add more to other employees workload for no additional pay, or fill those positions with current employees from other departments with no experience. In the last layoff that I was a part of a few weeks ago, a yahoo business article had come out confirming that our company was merging with another. The CEO then only decided to tell us all AFTER that there was going to be a merger but nothing was finalized and not to worry. Two days later, 60 people were let go. The number of legal matters against this company from tenants and investors is concerning. Business practices are shady and most departments don't even know the laws in place in each county/state that they are working in. The workload was entirely too much for one person to handle. It was considered normal to work long overtime hours just to be able to get the bare minimum completed. Do yourself a favor and stay far away from this company. The lack of pay, stress, lies and gaslighting are not worth it. You can find somewhere that cares about your well being as an employee and this is not the place.
