      Blatant discrimination coming from management!

      Pros

      We can work anywhere. The location does not matter as long as you do your job and stick to the time.

      Cons

      Blatant discrimination coming from management! Special treatment is given to people who came from Princeton University and Massachusetts Institute of Technology! Those employees were constantly praised and handed all the credit even when everyone worked together!

      Ambition Without Accountability

      Business outlook

      Pros

      You'll build a strong foundation in growth strategy through frameworks like growth modeling, ICE, 5WHs, and first-principles thinking.

      Cons

      Leadership sold everyone on the vision of building multiple $1B+ companies at scale. The reality was that there was no proven playbook for doing it, and neither founder had a track record of building companies as CEO. The company got off to a strong start, but once things became difficult, leadership unraveled. Most of the leadership team left, many of the portfolio CEOs left, and the culture became one of constant finger-pointing. Accountability always seemed to fall on everyone else, while the founders rarely appeared willing to take responsibility for their own decisions. The company has since pivoted to a much more realistic strategy of building profitable businesses. However, the company still markets claims such as a 100% win rate and $200M in revenue that I do not believe reflect reality. If you question those figures, don't expect an honest conversation.

      Incredible place for ambitious entrepreneurial-minded individuals

      Pros

      If you want to learn how to start companies, work with entrepreneurial people and do meaningful work - Mechanism is an amazing place. The team is very talented and the culture is one where the best ideas win. It's a great place to work for those who are ambitious and want more than just another job. I love it! Best "job" I've ever had.

      Cons

      No cons that I can think of, but I will say - if you're looking for a corporate job, this probably isn't the right place for you.
