Pros

The company offers a great work-life balance and a friendly, collaborative environment. Used to be a great company in all aspects.

Cons

Since the acquisition by Thoma Bravo, our company has undergone a significant and detrimental change. The new management lacks transparency with employees. The initial promises of no layoffs were quickly broken, and the company has embarked on a gradual layoff policy, replacing experienced employees with cheap remote labor without adequate training. The results of this move are evident: a decline in professionalism and expertise, coupled with a toxic atmosphere and a lack of job security, severely damage employee morale and motivation. Instead of focusing on growth and innovation,management prefers cosmetic cuts aimed solely at presenting artificial profitability. I fear the company is on the wrong track. Instead of building a strong and stable company, management is opting for dangerous shortcuts as a way to achieve short-term profitability.

Pros

One thing I genuinely appreciated was that the C-suite seemed invested in keeping everyone in the loop. The monthly town halls felt like more than just a formality and gave you a real sense of where the company was headed. When you had a good stretch, people noticed. The company feels like it has real momentum and on a macro level.

Cons

Leadership was inconsistent in my experience and seemed to depend heavily on which manager you ended up with. It often felt like luck of the draw. I personally found the planning process to be more reactive than strategic, with urgency only kicking in once results were already suffering rather than getting ahead of it. The workplace culture also had a gossip element that I found draining over time. My biggest frustration was around performance recognition. I observed situations where reported numbers didn't seem to reflect reality, yet the consequences appeared minimal at best. I would have liked to see more transparency and accountability around how top performers were identified and rewarded, because in my experience the current approach didn't always feel equitable to those who were playing by the rules.
