Pros
I've been at the business for over five years and have personally experienced the evolution of being at a founder-owned bootstrap business to the first transaction with a growth equity firm, to three acquisitions and another transaction with a private equity firm. Throughout that five-plus-year journey the business has consistently gotten better not only as an employee but as a provider to the non-profit market. We continue to raise the bar both internally and externally and I'm extremely proud to work at this company. It doesn't mean that individual days or weeks or even months along that journey were always easy or smooth but the one thing that cannot be argued with is that the business has been on a consistent upward trajectory since 2020.
Cons
It seems like we're still dealing with a vocal minority, a sub-5% of the employee base, that won't be happy with whatever we do and they're going to complain about AI use or focusing on growth. They detract from the exciting things that are happening at the company.
