Change can be a good thing

Pros

Best in class colleagues, comprehensive benefits, balanced work/life schedule, fun & challenging opportunities. Management is supportive of team needs and displays empathy towards all of life's experiences that the team has both in and out of work. Able to work autonomously without micromanagement. Leadership is receptive to feedback and eager to do better for the team, as well as customers.

Cons

Changes in the organization from 1.5 years ago have been hard for some of the team and the ripples of those changes are still felt. The waters are steadying now - hopefully the team can shift focus towards all the exciting opportunities that lie ahead. Change is hard and it can also be a good thing.

Pros

"Unlimited PTO", Virtual Social Events, Book Club

Cons

The company claims to offer flexible work schedules and unlimited PTO, stating that it's fine to take time off as needed, but this is not the reality. Additionally, the management does not provide sufficient guidance, and the onboarding process is inadequate. They emphasize focusing on the company's foundation, but there isn't enough time allocated to actually build this foundation. The documentation is poor, and there is a lack of clarity regarding who owns various tasks, resulting in disorganization. While the company has many talented employees, many of them are becoming increasingly frustrated with the challenges of doing things the right way. The positive mindset that once existed is being replaced by a more capitalist approach, where employees feel like just another number. In fact, employees are already being treated as if they are not individuals, but mere numbers.
