Pros

No Pros. I truly feel that there isn't any. They have great product however, don't have a grasp of the Canadian Market in which aligns with how poor the Company is performing.

Cons

Management is not involved in the realistic approach of the workforce. Senior Management has not a clue of what the day to day activities within the Sales Dept. That being said, Senior Management truly believes they know the Canadian market-they probably can identify 2 Key clients within!-can't work for a Company that is far off and not in touch with their employees and clients. Truly regret the Stoneridge corporate takeover by Prophet.

I'm sorry you feel like the Stoneridge acquisition of Prophet has not been a positive for you. We’ve certainly attempted to rely on the expertise of the Canadian team members to help us build the best plan of attack for that market. We recently partnered across the Canadian sellers to do a client appreciation event and to roll out updated pricing while involving everyone in that decision making process. I'd certainly appreciate if you can share that feedback with me directly so we can take action to make it better - I've been personally quite involved with our approach in Canada and take seriously any feedback we can use to make it better. Eric Newell - CEO

Pros

- A few genuinely talented individuals who care about their work and try to do the right thing. - Exposure to complex projects—though access is tightly controlled by an inner circle. - Strong branding and external messaging that gives the illusion of a progressive, people-first culture.

Cons

- A protected clique monopolizes premium projects while others are handed troubled clients and projects in a troubled state - PIPs are weaponized—not used for development, but as quiet termination tools with little to no prior feedback. HR is not neutral here, - Micromanagement is extreme, with certain managers monitoring every move and relying on informal “reporting networks” to control narratives. - Confidential conversations are routinely breached and used against employees. - Leadership enables dysfunction, rewarding loyalty over competence and protecting toxic behavior. -Other backgrounds and leadership experience is routinely dismissed or ignored, especially if it challenges the status quo. - Culture punishes transparency and rewards silence. Success depends more on politics than performance.

I certainly respect your opinion and I have heard concerns about what projects people get assigned to but I struggle to relate with the other feedback. We can’t get into the specifics of individual performance situations, but the experience described here is not typical or aligned with our practices. Our managers routinely get high marks from their teams for partnership and trust, and we have a thorough performance management process that prioritizes our values and acting with integrity. Transparency is a hallmark of our organization (with the exception of performance issues) and we offer many opportunities for people to voice their opinion, ask questions, etc. I do anonymous Q&A conversations every quarter and I answer the questions brought forward so there's always an opportunity to share feedback. If you're willing, I'd love to hear any direct feedback from you - send me an email and I'd be happy to engage in a conversation about what we could do better. Eric Newell, CEO
