Pros
The biggest upside is flexibility. The company offers remote or hybrid options, and for some roles, there’s freedom to manage your schedule without micromanagement. For working parents or those with outside responsibilities, this can be a major plus. Some departments still have dedicated, supportive coworkers who genuinely care and want to do good work. There are occasional team-building events, and depending on your manager, you might still experience a collaborative and positive team environment. Certain legacy employees bring deep industry knowledge and are willing to mentor others.
Cons
Unfortunately, the overall direction of the company has taken a turn for the worse. Ever since the private equity acquisition, it feels like everything has become about short-term profitability—stripping departments of resources, freezing or cutting pay, and driving up sales expectations without adding support. Leadership turnover has been constant, and many strong leaders have left, replaced by those seemingly more focused on pleasing investors than leading teams. Communication is vague or nonexistent, and decisions are often handed down without transparency or input from those on the ground. Morale is low, burnout is high, and the sense of being just a number is growing.
