Pros

A lot of potential to be really disruptive in the market. Great people in many different teams. Back office teams very supportive.

Cons

Inexperienced leadership who have lost trust from most employees based on how tough, complex market challenges have been handled. Mismanaged communications, finances, layoffs, etc. 5+ rounds of layoffs later and there is still no strategy or end in sight. CEO has the worst emotional intelligence I've ever experienced. Zero transparency, defensive in all hands conversations, lack of appreciation for folks trying to keep the business afloat, doesn't listen to his exec team. If you haven't worked with him since the beginning, you are insignificant. Protection for those who are "friends" with leadership is blatant and they see themselves as invincible. Even though times are tough and most people understand there is no way to provide raises or incentives, there is literally nothing else going on to make up for it (no culture building, no recognition, no out of the box thinking to show employees they are valued, etc). Engagement surveys stopped the second layoffs began and with so much change it is wild that no feedback is collected from management because "they already know how bad it is, why do they need to see it in black and white". One of the worst managed companies I've ever worked for.

Pros

Great culture, the company is so so. Culture bomb you with quarterly events and gifts and positive affirmations. They people are so amazing and kind.

Cons

The leadership plays favorites and doesn’t have your back. The client is right even if they aren’t and you will get the shaft quickly even if you don’t deserve it.
