Incompetence 101, Peter Principal in the flesh - Anonymous employee MIT Federal Credit Union Employee Review

People first culture is coming from the top down. The CEO backs up his words around people being first and it's great to see from the top. Lots of fun events to help grow the culture.

There is opportunity for growth in the technical side of things but the company is willing to get on board.

The best part about being an employee of the credit union is the relationship that the organization has with the university. As a result of this relationship, all of the benefits and opportunities that employees of the university are given are yours as well. Co-workers are pleasant and friendly. The location is great- right in Kendall Sq., within walking distance of Central Sq.

Challenges of working at the credit union are that management, for the most part, haven't been anywhere else and have no knowledge of best practices or alternatives to what they've always done. This also means that you know exactly how far you'll go, they're all waiting to hit their retirement number and cash out-- they're not going anywhere anytime soon! Also, there is a weird relationship between senior management, managers and staff that do not allow for critical information to flow up to the CEO. This means when you find out about a decision, you question what was used as the facts to come to that conclusion, because critical information that would shape the decision was not told to the CEO. They have grown organically, despite their lack of structure and organization and at some point, they will no longer be able to sustain it!
