Pros

The family aspect was great to me in the beginning. People came together to get the work done and learn more. Everyone wanted to lift others up.

Cons

The allowance of clients to become increasing toxic and the loss of core values. In my last years at TLI, it was no longer a family and there was more value placed on making money than on the people doing the work. Concerns with overwork and burnout were ignored, goals and directions were set then ignored, and the workers in technology are no longer valued.

Thank you for the feedback, we appreciate the time you took to complete this. We value every employee and former employee's perspective and hope that you shared more specifics in your exit interview so that we could learn more from your thoughts on our company. You can still share more if you email HR directly and we wish you the best in whatever is next for you.

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.
