Pros
Some great colleagues who are currently going through the struggles I did and have to keep up a facade to make sure they keep their job.
Cons
Where to begin?... - Fake culture. Everyone says "woohoo" during meetings even if nothing special happened. Was in a meeting where the Product Marketing team hit 40% of their target and everyone was rejoicing. People pretend to be happy all the time even when their facial expressions are saying something else. - They use Insights 360 behavioral tests to see if you are going to be a good fit for the company. Watch out if you don't have enough "Green". I was directly told by my manager a week after I started that I was going to have a hard time working at Mindbody because I was rated low on the green scale. - Severe micromanagement from leadership. I had a 1-hour weekly meeting with my manager where she used the time to tell me how to modify my behavior. I have 20 years of professional experience, 12 of it in people management. I had to have emails and minor presentations reviewed by my manager on a weekly basis. - Gaslighting: Every other post about gaslighting is true. The management finds a way to manipulate every situation to be a problem with you rather than trying to see things from multiple perspectives. Was written up by my manager for putting the phrase "per my last email..." in correspondence with another employee. Was told it was too impersonal and that kind of verbiage had no place at Mindbody. - Everyone is a Senior Manager or Director. Just before Mindbody was bought by Vista, everyone received promotions. Thus leaving a lot of unqualified people in leadership positions. - Basically a cult. My manager who had barely met the prior CEO told me she was almost moved to tears when she saw a childhood photo of him during an all-hands meeting to say farewell. She had only been at the company 3 years. Others there had oddly similar sentiments. -Terrible benefits. Yet HR tries to tell you how great they are. All is well until you have a child or need surgery. Also their 401K is pathetic. - There are other issues. If you've read this far, you have enough info to go off of.
