Disappointing loss of ideals

Pros

People in certain areas can be amazing, hard working, and truly wanting to grow both their own careers as well as the overall company or practice. Recharge PTO program is good, but as more companies adopt this is becoming less and less of a market differentiator.

Cons

Executives show over and over again how little they care for their employees Bonuses have been all but abolished due to requirements for the company to meet EBITDA goals, set by greedy executives and investors with no understanding of how a new company will not perform as well as the general security market, especially coupled with the incredible demoralizing from our execs including routine threats of firing people on sales all hand calls. Heath benefits are sub par compared to other major consulting orgs. Travel is almost constant and now with no bonuses there's no point in working our butts off anymore. Bonus changes were made retroactive, essentially robbing everyone of thousands (if not tens of thousands) of dollars for Q1, regardless of exceptional individual performance due to company missing goals that were poorly set CEO couldn't care less about his people. CFO calls employees "biggest cost" in all hands call. We are your biggest ASSETS!
