Pros

Great products, short commute, a lot of really great people working there (who would benefit from the company treating them better), and the pay was good.

Cons

There are, of course, exceptions, and some teams and managers are fantastic. I just happened to work for a despot who got away with every imaginable form of abuse, Employees' talents are unvalued and their ideas constantly dismissed, and their contributions unrecognized (except in sales). This leads to assignments that are mind-numbingly dull, redundant and unrewarding. And whether I worked my tail off or not, I was treated as though I were the world's biggest slacker. Every attempt to innovate is crushed, collaboration is frowned upon and any kind of push back is severely punished. If employee morale were any lower at this place, it might just dig its way to China. Unless you're a masochist, RUN.

Thanks for the feedback. It is is concerning but also helpful. AP is an organization that greatly values team member contributions and we know – without a doubt – that AP is successful because of the great ideas our people come up with every day. We also know that we can improve the way we collaborate with each other up and down the organization. To help us in this area, AP has engaged a highly regarded external business consultant who is working directly with managers across departments and teams. One part of that training is specifically designed to ensure that input from all team members is valued and recognized. There is always room for improvement in this area and we are making important progress.

Pros

Having spent the past year at Risepoint, one of the things I appreciate most is that the organization genuinely values people. There is a strong focus on collaboration, innovation, and creating an environment where employees can do meaningful work while maintaining balance in their lives. The mission is important, but so is the recognition that the people advancing that mission matter too. For professionals passionate about education, workforce development, healthcare, and creating opportunities for others, Risepoint offers a chance to contribute to work that has lasting impact.

Cons

Amazing and inclusive workplace for all

Thank you for sharing such a warm reflection on your first year. It's genuinely encouraging to hear that collaboration, inclusion, and a sense of purpose have defined your experience so far. Those are the result of the people here showing up for each other every day, and you're a part of that. We're especially glad that our mission has resonated with you. Doing work that matters, alongside people who care about it, is something we think about a lot when it comes to the kind of environment we want to build and sustain. Knowing that balance, growth, and meaningful contribution are coming through in your day-to-day experience is exactly what we hope to hear. Thank you for the thoughtful feedback and for the energy you bring to the team. We're grateful to have you at Risepoint and look forward to continuing to grow together.

Pros

Strategy at the surface looks great. The engine is interesting and effective, albeit the avenues of growth are quite limited—a great place to work on several interesting projects simultaneously.

Cons

Chaotic Decision-Making, No thoughts given by Exec Leadership to Change Management, Sequencing, and scaling things. Operations suffers from Poor Exec Leadership, a lack of thoughtful execution, and proper planning. Some parts of the organization are being run as a fiefdom. No processes and micro-management. No work-life balance.
