Pros

There are of great people sprinkled through the organization. Flexible work schedules, billing, and time off.

Cons

Core principals are rarely upheld when there is profit to be made. For example, They say they have a "People Principal", however the company cut salaries by 20% during Covid, They told the employees that we "saved the company" with our sacrifice. Since then we had been very profitable almost every year, but there was never even a mention on paying us for our sacrifice. The executive leadership acted as yes-men to the private equity ownership.

Thank you for sharing your perspective and for recognizing the dedicated people across our organization. We understand the frustration related to decisions made during COVID and acknowledge the impact those choices had on our employees. Our People Principle is a long-term commitment, and leadership continues to reflect on how we support, invest in, and recognize our people as the business grows. We value candid feedback and remain committed to earning trust through our actions.
