Wonderful people, great mission; upper management out of touch

Pros

Inflexxion is a place with a lot of big ideas, some of which are great. The people who actually get implement those ideas are awesome - some of the best folks I've worked with. The work environment is generally pretty relaxed... some of the best work-life balance I've ever had. The projects that are active out there actually do a lot of real good in the world. Great location, right on the Charles river!

Cons

The salaries are more in line with academic levels than corporate Endless frustration with the issues around trying to put proper process to grant-based projects - almost every project got stripped down, way behind, or radically off-the-rails at some point or another. Upper management, at least when I left, was still way out of touch with the working crew, and there is all but ZERO business knowledge at the top. They've tried numerous initiatives to make the transition from a grant-based academic organization to a real product-based company, and every one has fizzled, simply because no one internally has the know-how to make it happen once the consultants leave. One of the untouchable upper managers is absolutely insufferable to work with - I don't know if anyone actually left because him, but everyone who works with him threatens it at one point or another. He's probably the single biggest cause of waste of the company's resources, but there doesn't seem to be any way to fix it or replace him. This frustrates pretty much everyone.

Pros

Paid slightly better than other companies I've worked for.

Cons

I was ostensibly hired to improve the quality of the company's documentation from an editorial standpoint. During my brief tenure there, I was praised, often lavishly, for my contributions toward that goal -- yet I was fired, with no verbal or written warning, within months, for "not fitting in." I had been warned, pre-hire, by prospective coworkers, of less-than-optimal work conditions especially with regard to noise. I had worked in open-area companies before. However, nothing prepared me for the active culture of raucous noise that I encountered at Inflexxion. Projects requiring intense concentration were expected to be completed, under razor-thin deadlines, in an atmosphere routinely permeated with people shouting to one another and using speakerphones in the open area; long, loud, non-work-related conversations in adjacent cubes were not just tolerated but encouraged. My "reasonable accommodation" requests for a quieter work area and a flexible telecommute day (to allow for matching the quickest-turnaround, most detailed projects with conditions conducive to giving them the focus they deserved) were met with intransigence by management and with open derision by HR -- this at a company whose avowed mission is to help people "achieve a better state of health" and that claims to have "a strong sense of social responsibility."

Employees not compensated for sticking it out

Pros

- Good work-life balance, but not a happy place to work. - Talented, smart coworkers

Cons

- Employees who stuck around throughout the companies two sets of layoffs and new management were NOT compensated as promised throughout the process. At company meetings, management praised the employees and let them know that THEY were the reason for the company's recent, if short-lived, success. We received the same exact bonus we had the year the company was struggling. No motivation to "do better"! -Company floundering with struggle for a direction - New management brought in, but not entirely. Old management continues to drag the company down. - Changes are extremely slow to see
