Not disgruntled, just trying to warn others.
|
|
Working to save water is nice and does feel good fighting for something so valuable.
|
Sexism, ageism, elitism and toxic culture. Be prepared to have to explain your mistakes to the rest of the company and watch others be humiliated by upper management for things they had no control over.
If you apply here, make sure to ask about two key concepts:
1. Work life balance: Will I receive calls 7 days a week from early in the morning to late at night? Will I be asked to work late nights to "catch up"? Will I be acknowledged for going "above and beyond" or just for when I "mess up"?
2. Company Culture: Have you ever spied on employees chat and fired them for their discussions? How do you handle coaching conversations so that employees progress and aren't insulted?
These are simple questions that deserve simple answers. Don't let them give you the run around for them.
Also, any interns that work there are "encouraged to write a review" on here so don't trust all the reviews.

Board needs to be more involved to know what type of activities happen daily. Employees get silo'd so they feel alone and that way there is no push back on how management treats people. Highly recommend new management get put in place.

Tech Forward!

I love working with this ever evolving technology in an emerging water market. Our team is great-innovative, fun, smart. Great product and customers! I love to see how much we are growing as a company every single day-for a small start-up we have great benefits and even 401K matching
|
More PR-full-time PR in house would be a great addition to our company

I learned a lot-great product and customers
|
|
I was given many different responsibilities and grew a lot in my career. Great product that got better over time. Smart team. Autonomy. Great leadership. Open communication. Focus on technology.
|
no more regional offices. a few employees did not hold their weight. were doing a lot of personal stuff during work hours.

Fun, exciting place to work in growing industry
|
|
At Banyan we face new challenges in an emerging marketplace every day. We think creatively, wear many hats, and contribute to a team ethos of success. Communication lines are open across all teams and everyone works to help each other out. CEO is available, straightforward, and judges performance based on work quality and output, not tenure or favoritism.
Banyan offers flexibility and numerous opportunities for growth. Great benefits package for such a small company! Full health, dental, equity opportunities, both offices (Austin & SF) are cool and modern with free coffee, snacks, etc.
|
Small company culture, if you're looking for daily guidance or supervision, this may not be the place for you.
Long deal cycle makes sales challenging so patience and tenacity is an absolute MUST for this role!
Historically, culture has seemed to frown upon utilizing vacation time. This has begun to improve over the past few years.

Love this technology and team!
|
|
great tech team and product that just keeps getting better-love that we save customers water and money. Love that our customers are expanding with us all of the time-makes account management fun! Very casual work environment-you can wear what you want and the office is dog friendly! very smart team-committed to high standards-health insurance is really cost effective and we even have a 401K!
|
some very poor hiring decisions were made in the past-a lot of lying about people's whereabouts and other things-one bad apple certainly spoils the bunch in a company this small. Glad we are past that-

Raising the Bar!
|
|
I enjoy being part of a small and smart team with a cutting edge technology that continues to get better over time. We have monthly all hands meetings with the CEO where we share and speak openly with each other. People are friendly and we really work well together-I feel like I am part of something that is making a difference.
|
The culture has improved a lot and I wish that some changes could have been made sooner-

This Company Has Declined
|
|
- My department was run well, however the VP in charge is no longer with the company.
- We had a steady stream of [meaningful] work amidst constantly shifting priorities.
- Generally friendly environment (up until early 2018).
|
- Executive management has a tendency to hide the truth, and lie directly to employees (small example: results of employee survey were clearly misrepresented after discovering other employee's answers).
- The environment was made very uncomfortable for employees that the CEO did not approve of.
- There's a lack of long-term goals for the company.

Value every employee- the "blacklist" treatment was very evident. Honesty with your employees should be valued more than it is.
