Pros

Great team Smart employees, good attitudes Fun product, lots of potential You feel like you're helping with climate change

Cons

Sense's dirty secret is that there is a bad actor in the C-Suite trying to micromanage everyone else and gain power, but lacks the skillset to properly do their job, so it has a detrimental effect on the entire company. Senior management can't figure out how to deal with it because the CEO is enabling it for reasons unknown. Instead people just keep leaving - lots of talented employees out the door. New ones come in with lots of enthusiasm, but end up in the same place. This will continue to happen unless something is done.

Pros

I had the pleasure of working with Sense’s HR team during a time of rapid growth, right at the start of the pandemic and beyond. Despite the challenges, Sense made it work with consideration from all fronts. Sense continued to expand, driven by their mission and strong leadership. The Executive team and Co-Founders bring valuable startup experience, and the culture is nothing short of amazing—smart, inclusive, and respectful. The people here are genuinely great to work with, and these qualities make Sense a fantastic company to be a part of!"

Cons

Nothing comes to mind, startups have their challenges as do large companies.

Pros

Great office location in Central Square. Some great, highly talented people here you'll work alongside. Good pay, ok benefits.

Cons

Leadership has no idea what they want the company to be. They had a good idea with the original monitor, then had NO idea how to build a sustainable business with it once handed a massive Series C funding round, The caliber of leadership at the company is just not good enough to salvage what's left of the company after the trainwreck of a deal with Schneider Electric. Sort of a culture of toxic positivity despite obvious issues with the business. Layoffs handled poorly.
