Pros

Good office location in Boston. Flexible work/life balance and opportunities to work from home.

Cons

This place is run by a good old boys club made up of a bunch of nerds that have managed to see a little bit of success in their supply chain careers and love to tell you about it whenever possible. The culture borders on inappropriate with constant comments being made by upper level management and a general creepiness that is felt by all female employees. Not to mention "Risky", the riskmethods mascot that is a female employee dressed in tight spandex and a helmet. There is no professional development opportunities within the company and very little chance to move up to new or higher positions. Orders come down from the German side of the house and North America is left without support or autonomy to make their own decisions. Despite claims and recruiting tactics, this isn't a "tech" company and will not offer the culture that you're looking for with that label. While SaaS based, the product itself does little more than map out lines on a GoogleMap and show you information that you could find yourself by watching the news.

Thank you for taking the time to leave us some feedback. Even though it was not the positive news we hope for, you shared some valuable information that will be reviewed and acted on. riskmethods does not believe in promoting an inappropriate work environment, and if you were ever uncomfortable, we apologize. We will address this immediately. We firmly believe that each and every riskbuster deserves to work in an environment where they are safe, happy, and productive, and we will make sure this is the case. We also want every employee to lead a long and fruitful career with riskmethods, and thus we have been working diligently to implement new professional and career development initiatives. We strive for a culture where our people can grow and be part of an exciting, dynamic, and fun culture.

Pros

Our leadership encourages employees to think different and innovate to succeed even on non-traditional paths. Great to be founder of riskmethods and having established a management team that not only listens to our team members but also consider team-inputs having an impact on decisions. Our customer-statisfaction is extremely high (we have industry leading 2-digit negative churn rates!) and customers are strong advocates in the market: it´s a positive setting if your are in a CSM role and face customers every day (allows to support their journey in maturity and not managing complaints all the day), marketing roles (you get customer approvals for collaterals, webinar participations etc. without begging) and sales & sales development (I think it´s self-explaining how nice it is having a sexy product with strong demand and plenty of customer references to leverage). Many management or teamlead positions are held by employees that were promoted - this shows the job opportunities in a growing company. The office space in the US is awesome: great kitchen with full (free) catering services, a good gym inside the building and plenty of included offerings (yoga, running,...) and finally a nice view on Boston from floor 18.

Cons

If you expect to work in an environement where every process, role, organizational set-up is already built-out - better step back. We have set professional processes, organization design and leverage state-of-the-art tools but always open for better "stuff" to establish and adapt quickly. The office space needs to be expanded due to the strong growth, but management is already checking out additional space on same floor of the current building.
