Terrible place to work
|
A terrible place to work. If you are looking for a job at Singularity University, I would say look the other way. The company has been through dozens of leaders/mgmt members in the last 4-5 years. Its pathetic. Close up shop and keep it moving.

Serious terminal leadership issues
|
Mission is noble, execution is beset by incompetence and greed at the highest levels. Good pay but terrible communication, role design, hiring, etc - and it's a ten year old org that still needs funding and can't seem to figure out what it really sells.

Decent job but completely mismanaged
|
I love the mission of this company and I loved my direct boss and my team. However, executive level management is ridiculous and clueless which has led to multiple layoffs this year. I'm getting out while I can.

Like Burning a Picasso
|
SU's vision is beautiful. Its mission is admirable. And its reach is powerful. Yet that place is going down in flames, quickly.
Unfortunately, despite its best intentions, the leadership at this company has no ability (or interest, it was genuinely hard to tell which) to execute the business strategy, which, in and of itself, was more than a bit murky and seemingly always in flux.
It's not just leadership though. Rarely, if ever, is personal performance the reason for advancement. Instead, SU is a "how well do you play the game" organization, meaning the sycophants and sociopaths (not a joke) are the ones who are lauded and promoted. In response to being more than $20M behind its goal this year (also not a joke or exaggeration), the company laid off more 30% of its employees, yet somehow all of the most blatant offenders remained (some even served on the planning committee).
Despite it's world-changing ambition, Singularity University is sinking. Compounding the issue, the smart and talented employees (those who remain, anyway) are all working hard to abandon ship.

Run the other way
|
Internal conflict, badmouthing & competition between departments. In addition to poor communication and endless processes.
Attempts to be a "cool" Silicon Valley company but is far from it.
HR is lacking and onboarding was useless.
Very little room for growth.
Slow to change.

Entertaining, though management lacking
|
I had unique opportunities in working for the company. However, the persons I reported to should have never been managers or should have gone through some serious management training. The managers I had were condescending, clique-ee, presumptuous, and non-communicative. I was reporting to several people at the same time, though it wasn't necessarily clear as to WHO I was supposed to really be reporting to, as the directions given to me were different per each person who was trying to manage me.
|
Unique promo opportunities, presentation experience, lenient on time
|
poor communication, lacks upward mobility, management issues

Great place
|
It was a great place to work, network, and learn new things. The job was simple, not too challenging. It was through a staffing agency so my hours were based on when they needed extra hands.

Just Okay
|
Got the job by a student who came onto campus and asked students if they wanted to work for Singularity. Benefits include: free food, a lot of relaxed time.
Cons: Bad hours

Organization is committed to exponential learning
|
I enjoyed working for SU in general. A typical day included a daily check-in with the team, planning for upcoming events and reviewing what needed to be done in order to meet program objectives.
|
Team was committed to learning, growing and supporting start-ups.
