Pros

The company has great products, and a great message. Both are unique and employees can believe and stand behind. Humanscale is a sales-driven organization

Cons

While Humanscale is very sales-driven, the support isn't there. Operationally, the organization hasn't grown equally with the sales team. Salespeople are often left to "figure it out" on operational issues. Internal communication is non-existent. Many departments have their own agenda and often work in silos. The upper management is detached from reality and makes knees-jerk reactions that negatively impact staffs morale. They expect things to turn on a dime like its former smaller self once could. Compensation model changes year by year, usually not for the better. It is losing touch with the people and things that made the organization successful.

Pros

If you get the right manager, you can grow and advance

Cons

What used to pass for a tolerable setup—limping along with a hybrid schedule of just 2-3 days in the office—has been abruptly torpedoed by the CEO's arbitrary decree demanding everyone drag themselves back 4-5 days a week, with zero warning. It's a glaring display of absentee leadership: a toxic "do as I say, not as I do" culture where the higher-ups issue edicts from on high while exempting themselves from the drudgery they impose on the rest of us. To add insult to injury, both Piscataway locations cram office space right alongside warehouses, turning every workday into an assault of relentless industrial racket—endless banging, hammering, grinding, squeaking, beeping, and cacophony bleeding through the walls, making focused work an absolute nightmare and concentration practically impossible.
