They've Lost Focus of What Really Matters

Pros

- Unlimited PTO that isn't questioned for high performing employees. But if you're not a high performer, your PTO will be scrutinized. - Great co-workers who want to get better at their craft - Decent 401(k) match and health benefits - The opportunity to work with amazing clients across many industries

Cons

- The leadership team lost focus of what really matters - delivering value for clients. They are so focused on EBITDA and margin that they are running the company into the ground. The spirit of what was built at Trendline, DIG and LeadMD is lost and even the smartest of people from those organizations are unhappy and only sticking around because they have equity and are hoping they don't lose their investment. This trickles down to the rest of the team. People are demoralized and just wondering when the next layoff will happen. - Meanwhile, there have been several examples of promotions that aren't deserved. Except Beth. - There is a culture of blame. People spend more time gossiping about each other than focusing on the client. This goes all the way up to the C-Suite. - The quality of delivery has greatly suffered. There are a lot of reasons for this, but the core is that the company does not know who they are or what value they provide. DIG did data analytics. Trendline did email. LeadMD did rev ops. They haven't found a way to blend these in a way that makes sense to clients.

Pros

Remote work, some coworkers are great

Cons

Constantly micromanaged and talked down to by managers/VPs. There is a constant inspection of billable hours which creates a lot of stress as there have been 4+ layoffs in the past year and a half. The last batch they did quietly, laying off groups of people one day at a time over 2 weeks, which was concerning as you wouldn't know who was gone until you tried to contact them. Management never addressed the employees about said layoff since it was done this way. There is clear divide between exec leadership and everyone else. It seems they have their cliques and you can never criticize one of them without putting a target on your back. Although the company is fully remote, they pretend to respect a work/life balance when in actuality they praise those who overwork themselves and get frustrated if you do not respond when contacted after hours.
