Pros

Great work life, balance, and flexibility

Cons

Sometimes there is no room for us. They don’t care about their staff. We pay $800 just for Family health insurance. There is no scale for those who make less they don’t provide any parking benefits for those who make less they don’t care about the people on the bottom.

Pros

Flexible hours, decent pay, decent benefits, great staff and faculty. decent opportunity to work in tech spaces in Maine as a growing hub of start-ups and entrepreneurs.

Cons

Not a great company to work for as a woman or person of color, stemming from executive leadership. Poor hiring choices made with major red-flag conflicts of interest that promote the benefit of executive leadership. A really damaging top-down approach and disrespectful of women in the workplace. Scheduling meetings times outside of office hours, loading work onto women's plates which further puts women at a disadvantage in the tech space. Appalling misconduct and lack of accountability from executive leadership. Taking credit for successful work of women and people of color without noting the accomplishments of the team that conducted the work. Highly unethical and toxic work environment. Several mass exoduses over 1-2 years with unpromising results.

Pros

A small campus that allows you to develop strong relationships with those in different departments of you. Exposure to a rich history and wonderful values that were established before the merger.

Cons

The internal structure is completely disorganized. The Oakland campus has no authority over itself, leaving it to rely on the direction and approval of the Boston campus. However, it's clear that the Oakland campus is constantly overlooked by the Boston campus. The leadership on the Oakland campus cares more about looking like good leaders to the Boston campus, rather than actually being good leaders to the Oakland campus. The politics of working on a campus that was recently acquired are frustrating. Avoid working here if you actually care about working with and helping students.
