Pros

I enjoyed a lot of the employees at FlipSwitch, both at Primavera Online and on the development side.They support a company sports team. Most the technology is up to date and the office accommodations are fair. I had some wonderful leaders at one point but eventually they were all terminated and replaced.

Cons

CEO changes company direction frequently. Executive leadership is unaware of employee activity/responsibilities They watch everything people do Unprofessional leadership There was a time when new ideas and innovation were welcomed at this company. Over the past year several executive leaders were removed from the company. I personally saw some shady activity in the way they managed their data systems and fulfilled customer requests to manipulate data on their servers. People who don't challenge leadership in any way will do well at FlipSwitch.

Pros

StrongMind was founded by a true entrepreneur who still leads the company today, and that mindset shows up across the organization. Employees have real autonomy in how they work, and ideas are welcomed from every level. It feels like an all-hands-on-deck environment where people can make an impact. The mission is clear and meaningful. There is a strong focus on supporting students and families, which helps guide decisions and keeps internal politics low. The culture is positive and supportive. People are kind, collaborative, and leadership makes an effort to keep employees engaged and connected.

Cons

Like many growing organizations, there are times when priorities evolve quickly as new opportunities emerge. This can occasionally require teams to adjust focus or shift between initiatives. As the company continues to grow, there are opportunities to further streamline processes and maintain consistency across teams.

Thank you so much for taking the time to share this! We really appreciate it. I’m so glad the mission, autonomy, and overall vibe are showing through for you. That “jump in and make an impact” energy is exactly what we’re going for around here 😊 And fair call on priorities shifting. We’re growing, and we know that can feel fast at times. We are very dedicated to working on keeping things clearer and more consistent as we continue to scale. We are so grateful to have you on this journey with us and so glad you’re part of StrongMind!
