Pros
-Company setting record results under new, experienced, growth-mindset CEO and leadership team; we consistently earn our bonuses now -Data-driven and results focused; your impact and contributions are what matter; prior leadership valued beers, buddies, and high-fives; people are finally recognized for their performance and not how long you’ve been friends with the CEO (of course, for some, this shift is uncomfortable) -Employees are empowered to contribute ideas and drive real change through an established process of developing and testing hypotheses -DEI efforts are no longer solely performative in nature; employees were empowered to define a mission, set goals, and implement programs to bring them to life; the feeling of inclusivity is real – Goodbye Bro culture! -Market competitive pay; excellent benefits; flexible work framework since leadership cares more about results than time in your seat; seamlessly shifted to virtual first
Kontras
-Change can be hard; some of the folks that have been here for a long time are clinging to the old ways of lack of accountability or results and can introduce negativity. -While shift to virtual first was essentially seamless, company could’ve offered a more generous “get started” home office reimbursement -Too many disparate internal systems and little in the way of change management which can lead to a lot of cross-functional frustration; growing pains
