Pros

I have been onboard since April, 2019. This company has created a unique culture (supported by the avOS system and tools) that works for a 100% remote company. I have experienced more interaction with my colleagues in this company that I ever did in a traditional office setting. The direct feedback received from both management and especially my peers is refreshing and lets you adjust your expectations on the fly. High expectations are a part of the culture. Goals are clearly defined and explained to all members of the company. But we are a Software as a Service company and those goals often change as customers, technologies and strategic initiatives are always in flux. Those who are former military (as I am) would understand the culture quickly and be able to flourish working here. As a security professional, it is most refreshing to work for a company and an owner that is security focused on the people, product, policies and processes. That security focused culture is the main reason I chose Action Verb as my next opportunity. And the meetings are always short! As in typically 15 minutes or less!

Cons

This is not necessarily a Con, but working 100% remote is not for everyone. You must be a self starter and be able to 'handle your own business' and have some self-accountability. And especially being able to adjust to changes on the fly. Those potential employees looking for a position where you are told what to do with lots of supervision will not be happy in this company.

Pros

One of the biggest advantages of working here is the company’s commitment to maintaining and continuously improving its platform. The engineering team is highly responsive, consistently enhancing functionality, introducing new features, and resolving issues quickly to ensure a smooth experience for both employees and customers. The company also offers comprehensive benefits and decent PTO.

Cons

The biggest challenge I experienced was a lack of effective management and leadership support. Managers often appeared to have little authority to advocate for their teams or influence decisions that directly affected employees. It was common to hear that concerns were understood and even agreed with, but that nothing could be done because decisions had already been made at higher levels. Over time, this created an environment where employees felt unsupported and disconnected from the decision-making process. Leadership communication and organizational priorities often seemed to be driven by the preferences and mood of a single influential individual, whose presence extended across nearly every required communication channel. This made the work environment feel unpredictable and contributed to low morale. Ultimately, I chose to leave because I felt I lacked the guidance, advocacy, and leadership support needed to be successful and continue growing within the organization.
