Pros
I had high hopes when I joined this company. The interviews went really well, it seemed like a great opportunity, then it went downhill - so disappointing. General Pros: HSA, HRA, 401K matching is nice, good learning opportunities
Cons
In general: -“too many chiefs, not enough indians” - AKA too many managers -open PTO but attitude is if you can afford to take time off, you’re not working hard enough -layoffs and budget cuts common -employees overworked, under-supported Specifically: There are some nice people at Mitratech, but overall their most talented employees don’t stay long. People are often overworked, under-supported, burn out and leave. It’s hard to find many employees who’ve been there longer than a year or two. Though some have. People who are innovative, opinionated, or looking to take on true leadership responsibilities probably want to look elsewhere. While this is a great company for just starting out and learning, there are so many “managers” in most departments it’s hard to tell who’s actually in charge, which leads to a lot of confusion, shifting priorities and unclear, conflicting strategies. “Too many chiefs, not enough indians” basically. Layoffs and budget cuts also seem pretty common across departments, and acquisitions are handled shakily at best. Most departments don’t seem to have enough budget to hire the roles they need, so layoffs tend to occur before they can open a new position. Insurance is a high deductible plan that doesn’t cover much. Expect to pay everything out of pocket unless you meet your entire deductible first. Though the HSA and HRA programs can help offset this slightly. 401K isn’t bad. The matching is good. Open PTO is nice, but even taking 2 weeks can lead to negative consequences. There’s definitely an idea that if you can “afford to take time off” you’re not working hard enough.
