Pros
For years, Niche was the kind of company everyone wanted to work for. The culture was strong, leadership was transparent, and employees genuinely felt valued. The mission was inspiring, the team was talented, and the environment fostered both personal and professional growth. Many of us were proud to tell others we worked there because it felt like being part of something special.
Cons
Unfortunately, the last 18–24 months have marked a dramatic shift. New leadership has fundamentally changed the company’s direction and culture. Long-tenured, high-performing employees are being let go in waves and replaced with outsiders, creating a sense of fear and instability across teams. Morale on the sales side in particular has plummeted, and collaboration has been replaced by competition and distrust. The once-close connection between leadership and staff has disappeared. The CEO, who used to have his finger firmly on the pulse of the organization, now seems removed from the day-to-day realities. Decisions that would have been unthinkable a few years ago are now made routinely, often with little communication or transparency.
