Pros

Wunderkind has gone through some major changes (leadership turnover), acquisitions, exec shakeups, and a rather big layoff in April. Despite the changes, the people and culture has remained true to one of its core values- "bounce back". The company seems to re-invent itself over, and over and over again. I worked with some of the best and brightest people in the business and cherished my time there. The re-brand helped reinvigorate the spirit and energy of the CEO and people who helped shape the company today. Competitive benefits and cool offices (when that was a thing).

Cons

Best way to describe Wunderkind now is "trigger-happy." There is frantic leadership at the top, egotistic, fraternized culture is still at the heart of the company. Diversity was once the darling act, however, many of the respected leaders departed. The exaggerated 4 and 5 star reviews are calculated and scripted. I would be wary of any review that depicts the CEO and Executive team as "extra" given the extraordinary times of 2020. Strip away the office, unhealthy breakfasts, rose on tap, golden dinosaurs, and all you are left with is yet another hyperbolized and expensive product that is already replicated in the market. Many C-level execs were never replaced and junior, first time leaders still need much coaching, training and development.

Pros

The people are some of the best I ever worked with and will be sorely missed

Cons

- Leadership has never been trustworthy. Any mention of the company doing better or moving upwards has been a lie and reflected in each round of layoffs - Due to said layoffs, the remaining employees have been forced to take on more and more responsibilities outside of their expertise without the pay or title being proportional to the workload - Adding to the above, career pathing is nebulous and prone to changing with no concrete plan on how to move up - The software is okay at most and bad on average - The push for AI usage has led to more errors than positive impacts in efficiency or quality. To include it as part of the performance review as well? Not great - Good , hardworking people constantly leaving due to the work environment eroding - The burnout I experienced here has been the worst. I wake up feeling dread every day because of how little job security I felt Not saying it's great to get laid off, but I look back at the company and feel sorry for what it's become and will not miss it. I will only miss the people I got to work with who made my days bearable and hope they can get out to do something better too
