Business Outlook

Pros

Everybody below the c-suite is great; the pay is average for the industry; good health insurance, lunch is paid for.

Cons

Recent changes to the hybrid work environment require front office to be in the office four times a week (Monday through Thursday) and the back office to be in three times per week. This was a decision made at the top and not what most people would have preferred. Future of the company’s current operating model is up in the air as the acquisition by another firm is set to be completed by Q1 2029. Long tenured upper middle management is getting forced out for people that do not cost as much. CEO was just switched out and other large organizational changes have occurred all within a few months.
