Awesome company! - Project Coordinator Intellisphere Employee Review

Flexibility. As a working parent I find flexibility to be an extremely valuable perk- being able to get stay home when I need to, or leave when I need to, without having to trouble myself with how my employer might frown on it. They are VERY family oriented- they are family run after all. So they understand very much the challenges of work/life balance and are very friendly in that regard. As long as you are a honest, dependable person you won't have a problem here.

I'm not fond of complaining, and anything I have concerns about I am confident management is addressing. The CEO and President meets with EVERY person in the business as a team at least once a quarter, where everyone has the opportunity to raise their concerns and is welcome to do so. Upper management also is very visible and frequently come by and check up, and they arent doing it in a way that inspires intimidation, they truly are warm and friendly. The success of the business is your success too- they even have a shadow stock option where you can buy a piece of the success and reap the rewards.

The only reason I can see for the negative reviews is that you actually have to work hard! This company is the best in class when it comes to private hc communications- we are buttoned up and work fast paced, so if you're not intelligent/passionate/professionally driven... you will not last. It's an environment of excellence, not just 9-5'ers. And Sr management is always available to help the new faces - there's truly endless support and coaching. ALL are given the opportunity to succeed, to be heard. Yes, it's hard work, but no one is alone. We have a reputation for being the best, and that needs to be maintained. A truth you don't hear often is how compassionate the family owners are - because they don't publicize their good deeds. They're incredibly compassionate - they're just stoic, so you wouldn't assume how philanthropic they truly are.

Since there are a lot of people right out of college, those folks are usually new to corporate, and therefore don't realize that you're expected to work hard in corporate! This is to be expected, but it contributes to the glass-half-empty theme on Glassdoor. The complainers are the ones that haven't realized the grass isn't greener. They'll learn eventually! Since the work is hard, burn out happens. This is the price for opportunity, however. And the usual small company woes - benefits could improve, but they likely will as we grow (new acquisition).
