Pros

Hybrid, autonomy, work life balance

Cons

They took away titles (VP) saying it was a market move which doesn’t make sense. Some people were let go in an “expense cutting” but they were very talented and likely a threat to someone. Politics is everywhere!

Thank you for your honest feedback. It's important to us to communicate organizational or structural changes with openness and transparency, and we're sorry to hear that has not been your perspective. We did update our employee engagement survey for many reasons, including a couple that you mention: better questions to understand true employee sentiment and comment boxes to share more. We hope this opens doors to better conversation, planning and strategy for our employees!

Thank you for your review. The work we do for our members gives us a shared sense of purpose. And while we aren't a huge organization with endless opportunities to advance, we are a great mid-sized company with endless opportunities to develop!
