Pros
Great peer team and management there, shady senior / executive leadership. The day I (and 3-5 several others) were casually purged from this organization was the biggest "Pro" while there.
Kontras
Many cons. If you want place to excel and grow professionally, you may think twice before boarding this train wreak. The "tech" is bolted together legacy solutions that was probably hot in 2002.
Pros
The culture here is excellent! The CEO even has open calls with the entire company to take feedback and questions. I feel valued and respected which I can't say for many companies I've worked for in the past. The autonomy I'm allowed in this role is priceless. No one is micro managed here. I have a tremendous amount of freedom and flexibility and the work-life balance is amazing. I feel that the leadership genuinely cares about their teams and treats them as people instead of just employees.
Kontras
While I feel the pay is adequate, there's always room for improvement, especially as everything has gotten so expensive. That being said, the pros above makeup for it and then some. Frequent travel isn't for everyone. I happen to enjoy it and it works for me but I could see this being a con for some. Sometimes communication between internal departments can be clunky and slow. This is an attribute of most growing companies and I suspect it will improve organically.
Pros
I truly appreciate that the company lives by its core values, and I find the communication and support across most departments to be excellent. Furthermore, my direct manager is wonderful. They consistently value my suggestions and opinions, whether the feedback is positive or constructive.
Kontras
Some concerns regarding employee engagement and communication. In the past, initiatives like "coffee chats" with the CEO and monthly meetings with upper management were very effective in making staff feel that our ideas and opinions were valued. Since these meetings ended about a year ago, there has been a noticeable shift in morale, leading to a feeling that employee feedback is no longer a priority. Additionally, the high turnover rate in the sales department has created significant concerns regarding job security. I believe it would be beneficial for the company to address these issues directly by providing insight into why this turnover is occurring and sharing the strategic plan for moving forward.
