Pros

Pizza lunches once a month (no other kind of food, because they can’t afford it)

Cons

- They’re selling a product that is sunsetting and failed to create a product in the newer cloud market and wasted time, money, too many expenses and marketing efforts to promise a product that never came to fruition. - Poor, expensive vendors - Limited growth potential - Consistent layoffs (more to come) - Toxic work environment

We appreciate your feedback and we take the concerns of our former and current employees seriously. Both positive and constructive reviews, when factual, help us to improve our workplace environment. We are glad that you enjoyed the bi-monthly team lunches. It is our goal to foster a team environment within Cavallo, and these events allow colleagues to form deeper relationships in a casual, more personal setting. We also acknowledge that building new products in new markets is challenging. We also believe it’s rewarding to strive for greater heights. Though there have been setbacks, we remain committed to innovation and delivering value to our customers. As part of those setbacks mentioned above, a reduction in force was necessary as we underwent a strategic pivot and changed direction to focus on other, more profitable, product lines. We recognize the major impact events such as this have on our team members, both those directly affected and those who remain Cavallo employees. Rest assured, decisions regarding our workforce adjustment were made with careful consideration and communicated transparently to the team. It would have been constructive to understand more about the negative aspects of our work environment that you mentioned in your review while you were an employee at Cavallo. Creating a positive atmosphere built on respect is a priority for us. We remain committed to addressing behaviors that do not align with Cavallo's core values, so please feel free to reach out directly to me with more information so that your concerns can be addressed. Again, thank you for sharing your feedback and for your time spent being a part of the Cavallo Team.

Pros

If you love problem-solving, this is the place to be. Every day is a new puzzle centered on innovation and efficiency. That makes every day feel unique and not like you are doing the same dull tasks over and over again. There are many incredibly smart people who are also remarkably kind, making it a nice team to be a part of.

Cons

The company is in a dynamic transition phase, moving from a medium-small to a medium-large firm. If you enjoy stability and routine, the frequent pivoting might be a challenge, but for those who like to build, it’s a great time to be here. Currently, many of people are wearing multiple hats to bridge the gap. It can be demanding at times, but there is a clear sense that as we scale, we will be able to bring in additional resources for those really "nice to have" roles.
