Pros

*Mirasee's best quality is its team. It is, by far, the most competent and hard-working group of people I have ever worked with. *Competitive pay (for some roles, not all) *You will learn a TON *Unique benefits *Diverse team, from ethnicity to location to LGBTQ+

Cons

*Roles change often, even when you're not happy with it or don't want the transfer... It's a "you need to take this role or you're laid off." *The churn rate is unreal (and I've worked in both the justice system and in mental health/addiction, and Mirasee is WAY worse). *It's a lot of hours and a lot of pressure *If you come in with boundaries that aren't strong, they will overwork you and burn you out quickly *There's an undercurrent culture of fear that no one wants to openly talk about. People come and go, you don't know if folks moved on or were let go. It creates a lot of anxiety at about the 6 month mark, when you look around and realize you're senior staff. *Management isn't as transparent and value-driven as they put on (but the staff is!!). And when YOU are "too" transparent, you will be reprimanded for it. i.e. - Management asks for team opinions but doesn't really want to hear anything negative... So there's a bit of positive toxicity that you don't recognize until you're in the thoes of it.

Hi there! Thanks for sharing your feedback. 100% agree that the team is fantastic - competent, hardworking and lives our values. There are a couple of points that I thought would be helpful to address - 1. Role changes: There are times when we need to adapt to the market demand by increasing or reducing the size of our coaching team. If we feel that someone is a good culture match, and we want to keep them, we offer them a different role. Otherwise, we couldn't justify financially keeping them. Of course, people can choose whether they want to take a different role or not. 2. Churn rate: We want to cultivate a high performing team and because we are very collaborative, if one person is not performing, it has a negative impact on the rest of the team. Over the years, we have become very mindful in paying attention to instances of underperformance, offering coaching/support to the employee and if it's still not working, then parting ways sooner rather than later. This helps us protect our teams and it's beneficial to the person we are letting go so they can go and find a place where they will thrive. We are supportive of people we let go and offer recommendations, introductions etc to help them land on their feet. 3. Transparency around people who are leaving/were let go: Out of respect for confidentiality, we don't share details or reasons for why someone was let go. That said, we understand how it might be destablizing for our team and have now started sharing a bit more. Appreciate the feedback here :) 4. Positive toxicity: Openness and transparency is a core value of ours and we have implemented many ways for us to get feedback from our employees. We also believe in healthy disagreements that result in change and/or better decisions. We respect and encourage open dialogue and feedback. Feel free to email me if you would like to talk through this more :) Bhoomi Pathak COO @ Mirasee

Pros

I love the environment at Mirasee. The values resonate so clearly with my personal values. Everyone here is incredibly capable. The work is challenging, but rewarding. Innovation and new ideas are encouraged.

Cons

As with many small companies, you are expected to step out of your comfort zone and that can be unsettling.

Pros

There were a lot of highly skilled operators here who were a pleasure to work with.

Cons

The leadership is psychopathic. They are liars who gaslight their employees constantly. They have a knack for bringing in talented people with all sorts of promises and squeezing work out of them for low wages and then firing them once they begin to burnout or ask questions.

Hi there, Glad you found the team to be great - we agree there :) However, the use of words like psychopaths and 'liars who gaslight their employees' are pretty serious allegations. I am not sure who this is but if you worked at Mirasee, you have my email address. Reach out and I am happy to explore your grievances. Cheers, Bhoomi Pathak COO/Co-owner
