Pros

The mission is its strength and will always be. Great history and reputation!

Cons

The lack of vision from leadership makes it hard to stay invested in Renaissance's mission. Like many books, it started out great but it lost me in the middle chapters. I hope the remaining chapters will pick up again because the characters were great and their ambition inspiring. With the right leadership and vision, this company can easily multiply their worth. If you can imagine it, you can do it! Except there is no imagination here, just business.

Pros

Some of the most amazing people you’ll ever work with. Generally supportive peers. Leaders are kind and not intentionally toxic. Strong brand recognition and a variety of solutions to enable solution selling.

Cons

The culture of the organization seems to have succumbed to the broader climate surrounding politics and education. Immense pressure is placed on sales team to deliver in saturated territories with beyond unachievable quotas for some and cake quotas for others. No cost of living increases, lots of layoffs and unclear path for growth with an egregious lack of transparency from leadership about the glaring issues. NONE of this seems intentional or malicious-it just seems like a lot of behaviors caused by extreme desperation.
