Pros

Flexible working style, summer Fridays, virtual-first environment

Cons

Small company with no room for employee growth - many people leave the company to move upwards in their careers. They say they value DE&I but most of the senior management are white females. From time to time they run HR campaigns to have employees post great things about the company on Glassdoor, you'll notice most of the positive reviews here were all posted around the same times. Many meetings that could've simply been emails instead. Organization is a revolving door.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. On behalf of the Somos leadership team, we are deeply committed to providing transparency and accuracy in all representations related to the company. We appreciate your recognition of our commitment to work flexibility. The senior leadership team and our board represent all forms of diversity including race, gender and ethnicity. More importantly, the organization’s performance in the form of employee satisfaction, competitive compensation and rewards, employee retention and diversity representation far exceed that of our industry and peer group. In fact, our single digit turnover represents top-tier performance. You are correct, we regularly encourage our employees to share their experiences utilizing independent/confidential sources that protect their identity and provide insights to the company as to how we can further leverage our strengths and identify opportunities for improvement. Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts. To read more about Somos’ commitment to creating best in class experiences, we encourage you to review our website.

Pros

This company has a truly valid reason for existing, (public good) that goes to the heart of how the entity exists legally as there are no investors and shareholders waiting for a payback. Beyond the company mission, which can be found elsewhere, the leadership is genuinely interested in creating an environment that maximizes what each employee brings and takes away from working with Somos. So high on the list is company culture, this company has the best culture I have ever seen. - Compensation is in line with the market and the benefits are good. - Career development is something the company is concerned with and has taken steps to address. - Company is growing and growing up, and leadership is deliberately taking steps to curate the evolution of the existing culture. - Great time to come-in to the company as it grows-up.

Cons

The cons are really opportunities. The company is in the process of transitioning from a small business focused on specific functions into a larger entity with serious, perhaps global relevance as a provider of Trust Infrastructure and Information. This implies a change in the way things are done and the need to realign what previously done, which result in push-back.
