Pros

Fun environment to work in, team is very close, lots of opportunities for growth and ability to take on more roles within the company, monthly company activities and best of all there are great benefits or full time employees as well as part time

Cons

Can't say there is many cons about this company. It is quite small so you will need to take on various different roles if needed.

Pros

* The product and technology are super interesting, unique, and relevant. Bringing awareness to energy usage in the home and connecting your smart devices is a fun field and can help make an impact on energy usage! * Great culture. Very laid back atmosphere, with fun non-work related events. And the hours are reasonable: just do your job well and nobody cares how many hours you are at your desk. * Smart, talented people without the ego. Great place to learn from others but also contribute and feel like your work makes a difference. * Smart, veteran leadership, but again without the ego. Really believe in the mission of the company and the role we have to play. Super motivating!

Cons

* We partner with energy utilities sometimes, and they are slow moving! So it can be frustrating that we can't enact the change we want as quickly as we want. However, the direct to consumer approach makes up for this!

Pros

- The technology is very, very exciting. We're doing something brand new with a ton of potential - On that note, you get to feel about what you're working on! Sense has the potential to make a really positive impact on the world and you'll get to work with people who are genuinely motivated by that possibility - Co-workers are experienced, but always very open and generous with explanations, brainstorming, and advice - Friendly, welcoming atmosphere - Experienced and ambitious leadership team - Respect for your autonomy and opinion, as well as room to research, grow, and experiment - In my experience, great work/life balance. People show up in the morning, work hard during the day, and then turn off at night and on weekends. Leadership both expects and models this - Super convenient location if you ride the T

Cons

- Could be either a pro or a con, but Sense's culture is fairly shy/introverted. This means that when you are doing your work, people will respect your space, but it also means you might have to make a bit of extra effort to get to know people. If you do, I think you'll find them delightful. It's also worth noting that this is something the company thinks about pretty intentionally - for instance, we started doing lunch lotteries where we pick random employees to go out to lunch - to try and make sure people get to know each other. - As other reviewers have said, Sense is still in early growth phases. They've got a lot the most important stuff nailed down (especially since the folks in leadership have already started, scaled, and sold another company), but you'll have to take ownership of your work here. I've found that to be a tremendous learning opportunity, but I understand that it's not for everybody.
