Pros

There were many cool people that I got to work with day to day, who gave out tons of positive vibes and created and amazing atmosphere. Further the office itself is really cool and stylish. On Friday we would have free office lunch catered. It was a fun time to get to know people you might not work with daily.

Cons

There were not many. I was let go during a round of company-wide downsizing. The biggest con may have been the misunderstanding the importance of company culture to productivity and happiness.

Hello, I agree that culture has an impact on productivity and happiness. We've been working on creating a great culture everywhere in the sgsco collective to ensure everyone feels like they are part of a great company. I’ve been impacted by corporate downsizing myself and know that it doesn’t feel great. Good luck and I hope you were able to find a new position that challenges you and helps advance your career. Thanks Gabriel, Communications.
