Pros

The work is interesting and the clients are great to work with.

Cons

Perpetually short-staffed, with high turnover; top heavy - all but 3 employees are “leadership,” training was negligible, processes are a mess, there’s no traffic or project management or estimating of workload by time needed to complete tasks (I once had 20 hours worth of work in a single day required to keep projects on timeline - obviously timelines were blown and I was blamed as a result), and the people.

I hear you, and I appreciate your honesty. Looking back, I can say with full transparency that this was a tough time in Swim’s history, and some of the challenges you described were real. Being short-staffed, struggling with processes, and having unrealistic workloads were not sustainable—nor were they aligned with the kind of company I wanted Swim to be. Because of that, we made sweeping changes. We completely restructured our approach to workload management—our teams now work standard 8-hour days, and if someone is overwhelmed, there is never a shortage of people willing to jump in and help. There is a resounding presumption of goodwill here now, and no one ever has to carry the weight alone. We also became laser-focused on work-life balance. Not only do we support remote work, but we’ve aligned our PTO policies with those of colleges and universities, ensuring our team has the time they need for holidays, sick days, personal days, and mental health days. This isn’t just a perk; it’s a priority. Swim today is not the Swim of the past. We’ve grown, we’ve learned, and we’ve built a culture where people genuinely enjoy working together. I’m sorry that wasn’t the experience you had, but I truly appreciate the opportunity to reflect, improve, and do better. I wish you all the best in your career and thank you for sharing your perspective.

Pros

Friendly coworkers and a collaborative team atmosphere at the peer level. Opportunity to take on a variety of responsibilities and gain experience across different areas.

Cons

I cannot recommend this company based on my experience. The onboarding process and first month were extremely difficult due to a lack of structure, clear processes, and basic organization. Expectations were unclear, and there was little to no guidance. Communication from management was inconsistent and often ineffective. Concerns raised were frequently dismissed or not addressed, and important matters could go unanswered for extended periods. There were no clear escalation paths, making it difficult to resolve issues. Turnover appears to be very high, which significantly impacts stability, morale, and continuity of work. The benefits package is weak. The 401k is employee funded, and health insurance options are limited. Overall compensation does not feel competitive with the market.
