Entrepreneurial Environment With a Strong Vision for Future Growth

Client success director

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

A recent merger brought together three strong independent organizations; bringing these companies together truly created a differentiator in the market. Work from home + flexible work environment The sky is the limit on earning potential. Entrepreneurial spirit and lots of opportunity to own strategic projects Clients are really great. The company has started to be picky about the clients we accept so the work continues to get more innovative New CEO is building a strong vision for the future

Cons

Recent M&A activity and growth strategy creates ambiguity. If you're comfortable working in a high-performance environment where ownership of the outcome is metric for success (with a healthy dose of ambiguity) then you won't have a problem. This job is not "cush" - be prepared to show up and be switched on every day. That said, the company is incredibly flexible and family-friendly. High performance with high personal freedom.

Thank you very much for your review and while we always love good reviews, we own up to the not-so-great ones too. Why? We so appreciate your candor in this review, we can only get better with feedback, good and bad. We appreciate that you feel there is a Bro Culture. We will look at things in the organization with that lens to see how we can eliminate that. We want everyone to have an inclusive environment where all are equal with opportunities that drive their career. Liz Ross our new CEO has committed to putting people first above all else. It is in our Goals for the first half of 2022 and is one of our company values. Tides are turning, we know that it will take hard work but we are committed to it. We hope you are too committed and want to invite you to meet with anyone in HR you feel comfortable with to share more insight and suggestions. Again thank you for the review and feedback.
