Pros

There are no upsides and no opportunities to do good work

Cons

The PE company that backed symplr wanted to sell once they bought all of the pieces, but with the economic downturn they will not be able to find a buyer and are stuck holding the bag. With the new CFO, who has a history of taking companies public, my bet is they are wanting to go public themselves to pass their losses onto the public.

Pros

I've really enjoyed working here because of the supportive culture and the flexibility of working from home. The team is collaborative, management is approachable, and I've had plenty of opportunities to learn new skills and take on different responsibilities within my role. If you enjoy continuous learning and a positive work environment, it's a great place to work.

Cons

The biggest downside is the limited opportunities for career advancement. It can be difficult to move up or receive title changes, even after taking on additional responsibilities. Compensation also tends to be below market compared to other companies offering similar roles and responsibilities, which can make it challenging to stay long-term.
