Pros

Coworkers, Decent Benefits, Remote, walk my dog

Cons

Following the acquisition by Risepoint, there was a noticeable shift in company culture. Many long-tenured employees were laid off without prior notice, creating an atmosphere of uncertainty. Leadership appears to prioritize superficial elements—such as company jingles shared during town halls—over meaningful recognition of employee contributions and accomplishments. The current work environment lacks a clear cultural identity, and many employees feel a persistent fear of job loss due to frequent organizational changes and evolving processes. The management style leans heavily toward micromanagement, which can be discouraging for those who value autonomy and trust in the workplace. While the company advertises attractive PTO policies, it’s important to look beyond the surface. Those seeking long-term stability and a supportive work culture may want to explore other opportunities.

Thank you for your years of service and for taking the time to share your feedback. We are happy to hear that you enjoy working with your team and that the remote work environment provides you with the flexibility to walk your dog. It sounds like our evolving organizational structure may be unintentionally causing you some discomfort. We encourage you to help us do better by connecting with your manager or a member of the People Team to discuss your feedback and recommendations in further detail. And although we are disappointed that you do not enjoy our Fireside Chat jingle as much as we do, we hope that you will continue to attend these optional sessions to stay connected to leaders and updates from across our organization.

Pros

You can negotiate ridiculous pay as there’s no real basis for how employees are compensated.

Cons

Disorganization is at an all time high! HR doesn’t resolve simple people issues. Free Leadership Lesson HR should not be the department everyone needs when things go wrong and the department who leaders don’t want to listen to until things are going wrong. But they’re weak and only invented with reactivity rather than proactively resolving some corporate issues. They don’t address concerns appropriately. They don’t set a standard for work ethic and they have no control in the company and it’s policies. Each dept and manager can essentially be rogue in their dealings and understanding. People are bullied into positions and they claim that the pace is changing and upbeat but a lot of this is unnecessary and self inflicted from management and disfunction. Poor leadership and unskilled leaders.
