Pros

The e-team is an impressive roster. New leadership hires are diverse, talented, and kind.

Cons

The company foundation is wobbly, departments are disconnected, and the product hasn’t seen significant improvements in years. Every team is struggling to set and achieve goals independently, and sales is coming out ahead with investment and team growth. The strategy is clear, but the tactics (go upmarket with lots of sales talent) and goals are unrealistic. It feels like working really hard without much to show for it. Being a part of a sales-led company with a stagnant product is a recipe for client and employee churn. While new leadership is impressive, it’s going to take a long time for the visions to gel and come into fruition.

Pros

Smart and Talented Team: Over the past two years, the company has brought in some incredibly smart folks who truly understand the challenges and dynamics of startup work life. This has significantly improved the quality of work, speed, and collaboration. Commitment to Improvement: Despite the tough decisions and layoffs that many companies (especially in HRTech) are experiencing right now, there is a clear focus on improvement, sustainabiity, and steering the company in the right direction. Flexibility and Innovation: The company encourages innovation and flexibility in work, which can be very rewarding for those who are creative and proactive.

Cons

Cultural Challenges: They are slowly figuring out the best ways to create a culture that is as transparent and warm as they aspire to. There's room for improvement in fostering a more open environment. Communication Gaps: Communication from leadership could be more transparent at times, especially during periods of strategic change. Past Layoffs: The layoffs over the past two years have been tough on everyone and created some uncertainty. But it seems as though the company is stabilizing and moving in a positive direction.
