Pros

none Colibri just acquires other companies and does a horrible job of managing them. this is private equity at its worse!

Cons

-They stripped our benefits and tried to present their package as a "great option" -We are the largest company in their ecosystem, constantly turn revenue and they laid off people within months of acquisition. -They waste our time with feel good activities that add no value to my day "Passion and Purpose" DiSC" -They host renewals that will leave you feeling drained and even more dissatisfied with your job -They migrated our computers onto their platform and completely screwed the pooch there. -Jeff James comes off as a complete bigot -C suite has 0 diversity but they love to say how diverse they are -Speaking of diversity they hosted a quick diversity section in a renewal where the presenter had the NERVE to put Black Lives Matter beside MAGA on the same slide! -It is clear they claim all these "feel good" things in their mission but stand by none of them.

Pros

Great culture with genuinely great people who are passionate about the mission. difficult but highly rewarding work where you're empowered to solve real problems. Leadership is strengthening and driving the company toward a compelling vision. Tons of opportunity for impact and professional growth.

Cons

The pace is fast and the challenges can be intense - it's not for everyone. You'll need to be comfortable working through ambiguity and pushing through difficult problems without always having a clear roadmap. If you prefer a slower, more predictable routine, this might feel overwhelming at times.

Pros

Coworkers, remote work, some overtime

Cons

The company is constantly evolving, which can make it difficult for employees to feel secure in their roles. One moment you feel confident about your future with the organization, and the next you are concerned about the possibility of layoffs. When AI initiatives were introduced, employees were assured that the technology would not eliminate jobs. However, recent workforce reductions have understandably caused many employees to question those assurances. In my experience, three employees from my department and two from another department were laid off. While change is inevitable in any organization, transparent communication and consistency between messaging and actions are essential to maintaining employee trust and morale.
