Pros

*They are trying to make things better with morale * more company events, lunches * they are completely renovating the space to be more modern and open * The people there are great * The average tenure of employees went from 15-20 years to about 5-10yrs as most of the senior management was let go after the acquisition. * although not clear after acuisition the working hours a week are 37,5hrs or 7,5 hrs a day * Vacation starts at 4 weeks * Plenty of sick days and personal days

Cons

* Although they are trying to increase the morale you still feel the bitterness. * They took away WFH on a weekly basis. * I was there for over a while and I was never sent on a training course or conference. I even asked for training and it was just kept in my development path and nothing happened. * After going to some interviews before finally leaving I realized I have really platoed or even taken steps back in my professional career in the process and the tools. * If you are looking to move up in a company, good luck.. there is no room for movement if you're in the engineering department. * Marketing seems to get all the focus and "privileged" treatment * working from home is unofficially allowed when really needed, but you get dirty looks and a lot of slack from upper management. * Random Emails from the CEO about role changes, people getting let go etc. Makes for a very unsettling time. * They are depending on people leaving to replace them with new hires so they don't have a comparison to what it was like before. * Benefits are subpar. no chiro, physio, vision, massage etc.

Pros

Work/life balance, good people, everyone genuinely cares about what they do and motivates each other

Cons

The internal systems are terrible, so many different CRM's, marketing tools, lack of connection between systems really inhibits the ability to collaborate across the business

Pros

Great company, CEO and manager. Great work/life balance, does great things for the environment and the company cares about its people. Great family feel! Everyone helps each other.

Cons

Sales process is changing as the company is growing but it’s actually positive. Just a bit of growing pains is all
