Pros

Good people, easily able to work from home, kept it together during the start of the pandemic.

Cons

it's always easier to pick out the faults but personally I really haven't liked the recent push to study for certifications. During the pandemic many of us work long passed our 8 hour work day but there's still an expectation that you make time to study information you don't get to actually use for a certification that is just to make us look good to potential clients. There has also been a bit of a culture shift, which is to be expected when the company starts to get larger, it just feels like your job is a little less secure than it was in the past. But with all of the growth and more strenuous job requirements there's been no change in pay really

Thank you for your review of Trendline. We take these posts very seriously and will be sharing this across Leadership in order to determine areas for improvement. This year is big for us in growth and that will make room for lots of changes/opportunities. We are working through many areas as we integrate LeadMD, DiG, and continue to hire. This situation gives us an opportunity to improve and we do that through feedback just like this. We hope you continue to provide us feedback internally in our anonymous feedback form or with HR directly.

Pros

Lots of room to create your own structure and process. Respectful that employees are people. The organization actually cares about DEI, operationally, not just as lip service. Tons of opportunity for learning. Thoughtful CEO, who communicates clearly.

Cons

It is a difficult industry space for an org to enter, and I don't know anyone who does full service consultancy + agency particularly well. If you're gritty and you like creating your own structure, this can also be a pro.

Pros

You will be a fool to seek any pros here. It's not a decent workplace for people who want clear boundaries and hope to enjoy some work-life balance. These awful people will never respect the lines you draw.

Cons

The work expectations were ridiculously high. Employees were expected to be available 24/7, work on multiple projects, and meet client expectations while balancing poorly assigned deadlines. It was a struggle to show up every day when you knew they expected too much from you. It was exhausting to try to reason with the arrogant leadership that did nothing but pile horrible expectations. They also didn't give me enough room to grow. My learning stopped, and I was doing boring work for months. There was no career growth, either. Overall, it was a horribly frustrating experience, and I escaped before I could be trapped here for long.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We're sorry to hear that you felt overwhelmed and unsupported during your time with us. Your feedback about workload expectations, work-life balance, and development opportunities is taken seriously. We recognize that unrealistic deadlines and unclear boundaries can lead to burnout, and this is not the environment we want to create. Our new leadership is working to actively address these issues. Again, thank you for the feedback.
