        Pros

        The company is doing okay with the economic climate. Not hitting goals but it could be worse

        Cons

        Despite departures, hiring has been slow causing many teams to be understaffed. Company survey results indicate poor morale but nothing has changed.

          Pros

          Middesk has a welcoming and fun company culture. There is a real sense of clarity and transparency across the business, our leadership team does a great job with updates. I can truly see myself here for years to come.

          Cons

          As any company grows there will be some challenges along the way. Keep listening to employee feedback and giving people an opportunity to voice their opinions, and I'm sure there will be more success ahead!

            Pros

            Middesk is quickly growing but in a way that seems sustainable. Leadership is great and has a balance of pragmatism and vision. The people at the company are excellent and enjoyable to work with. There are many ways to contribute to the company and you can leave your mark and add to the success of the business.

            Cons

            Moving quickly so things can also change quickly. though nothing too big that sticks out as a negative

            Collaboration and ownership are two central tenants of our culture and it is great to see this come to fruition in this review. Working at a startup presents unique challenges and rewards, happy to hear your experience has been a positive one so far!

                Pros

                * Smart, down-to-earth teammates make it so easy and fun to come to work each day. Rare! * Positive, helpful, and well-organized onboarding experience with a nice cohort of new folks made the first two weeks stress-free. * Many meetings and events include genuinely enjoyable team building aspects within them, e.g. Zoom games, personal presentations, etc... Those really matter, since it then feels OK to bring your whole self to work. Again, super rare. Makes coming into work that much more enjoyable. * Welcoming environment in which to ask questions and test out new ideas.

                Cons

                * Like all startups at this stage, there are a few internal tool and process kinks to be worked out. However, everyone is very transparent about any known shortcomings in that area and we're all actively working to make improvements to internal processes each day!

                    - we have to hire more people to grow this rocket ship even faster and I hope we don’t lose the golden goose vibe - could be more organized

                      Pros

                      Its very rare you find a group of people with a truly nuanced approach that is moving in the same direction together as a Team. Ive had the opportunity to work at quite a few early-stage startups and was luckily enough to see them mature as legit tech businesses. Middesk is better run with a true focus on what needs to happen to get to the next level. There are high expectations but the teams support each other in a way that makes each win feel significant and every challenging moment feel like youre on the verge of a breakthrough

                      Cons

                      High expectations which may or not be a con- for folks. Hyper transparency around work product and progress, very hard to hide or drag. Wearing many hats also forces folks to context shift between strategic planning and tactical work.

                        Pros

                        I've worked at several start-ups and I have to say this is the most well run of them all. Management is transparent, cares for every employee, and they hire incredible people. One of the things I love most is how Middesk strikes the perfect balance between structure and autonomy; enough structure to feel supported and close to coworkers while also providing the freedom and trust to test ideas and take on new projects. Also, every employee at this company is top-notch. Not only in terms of skills and expertise, but also in terms of different backgrounds and being all around great human beings. It's an absolute pleasure to go to work with this team every day. Simply put, there's a reason why this company is surrounded by some of the best minds and investors in the world. No matter which angle you look at it from– the people, culture, mission, vision, values, opportunity, etc. – it's clear as day that Middesk is primed to achieve great things.

                        Cons

                        The company is growing and moving fast, so if you're looking for something more laid back this might not be the place for you.

                      Project Coordinator

                      I recently applied for a “Project Support Officer” this from the job description it’s pretty much a Project Coordinator/ Manager position. And I have been asked to create a poster to promote an event for young people that have long term health conditions. Now my question is why is the job advertised exactly like a Project Coordinator position, but Im asked to design a poster?! How can that reflect my experience within the project environment? It makes 0 sense to me.

                      Development Engineer

                      Had a peculiar 3-month interview with a scientific organization. Initial online presentation, followed by an unexpected in-person interview, still evaluated by the committee. Salary undisclosed; only relocation package mentioned. The team was satisfied, awaiting HR director approval, requesting references. 2-3 days later, before sending references, informed they chose another candidate. No response to emails; HR silent. Was I backdoor checked?

                      RFP Coordinator

                      I have a 5 year gap in my work history due to an illness. How do I explain this? I can't lie, SSD is on my background check as a previous employer. I am on it and looking to re-enter the job market and get off of it, but I understand it is a reason for employers to pause in hiring me.
