I have been working at MentorMate full-time for less than a year
Pros
We have very talented colleagues across all of our practices. Our culture is work hard play hard, but also very understanding that we all have a life outside of work.
Cons
US based employees can end up with early morning meetings depending on the client and need. I’m not bothered by putting in time early, but this probably isn’t a great fit for someone who anyone who... doesn’t like working before 8 am.
Advice to Management
Keep being transparent about both our current and future plans. Our flatter organizational structure is amazing, but it also leads to a lot being put on a smaller group. We have a lot of talent in... many of our roles and we all would be happy to do the leg work on different initiatives.
