Pros
The highlight of my time at Parsley was undoubtedly the people I had the privilege to work with. - My team and coworkers were exceptional, talented, and hard-working individuals that I had the opportunity to work alongside and learn from. - My direct managers were supportive of my personal and professional growth. - The fully remote work arrangement and the flexibility it offered.
Cons
Unfortunately, my positive experiences were overshadowed by significant challenges. - Promised growth opportunities turned out to be empty gestures, and despite my efforts, I felt undervalued and underpaid. - Multiple layoffs during my time at Parsley resulted in an increased workload for remaining employees, causing burnout, dissatisfaction, and lack of job security with each layoff. - The company culture and work environment caused significant problems. Although leadership emphasized things like work-life balance, the culture did not reflect that sentiment. - The pressure to consistently perform at a high level without adequate compensation ultimately led to burnout as we were short-staffed and not set up for success. Morale took a hit leaving many of us feeling anxious and overwhelmed.
