Pros

Met some great folks who genuinely want to work hard and help the company succeed.

Cons

In the past 15 months, this company has gone through 4 rounds of lay-offs. They've gone from once every 6 months, to once every 3 months and they keep claiming, "we have to tun a profit faster," while completely ignoring that the product is incomplete, and leadership is clueless. They lack emotional intelligence and don't inspire ANYONE to close deals, bring no value and simply don't listen. How do you expect your employees to perform well when they're constantly worrying about being let go in the next round of layoffs? After 4 rounds of layoffs, don't you think leadership is the problem, not bottom of the totem pole employees? Don't work here, please.

Pros

The ONLY positive is the people doing the work. An amazing group of professionals doing everything they can to make it worth while operating in a complete absence of leadership.

Cons

Immediately reduced compensation for ALL employees post-acquisition. Poor benefits (no 401k match, no FSA/HSA match), toxic culture, tone deaf “leadership”, employees are not valued or respected. Large scale layoffs have already begun and will likely continue. Flexible PTO sounds nice until you realize it just means they won’t have to pay out for the hours you’d accumulated over the year when they lay you off. They have made it clear through actions and words that they have zero respect for the legacy employees post-acquisition. Decisions are made in a silo by people who don’t know the downstream effects of their decisions because they don’t care.
