Pros

Remote, good benefits, flexible work schedule. Goid employee discount

Cons

New CEO says he want to build a positive work environment. All current leadership are loyalists who stuck around and got title promotions. No leadership training is being provided. Under qualified leaders who fit the aesthetic and participate in the toxic mean girls/click type behavior make up the core group. Communication is terrible. No training or expectation setting, just told you didn’t meet expectations. Standing up for yourself or calling out bad policies means you have a bad attitude. Not a place for neurodivergents.

Pros

- New ownership has brought a positive and motivated energy to the company - CEO is transparent, involved, approachable, and genuinely invested in rebuilding the right way - There’s finally a clear vision and business direction, which feels refreshing - Leadership expectations are realistic - Working remote is a huge plus and leadership trusts employees to manage their work - Good opportunity to grow professionally because the company is actively evolving - Teams are more collaborative now and communication between departments has improved significantly - You can feel that people actually want the company to succeed again - Higher compensation opportunities than previous ownership. Focus on employee trust and retention

Cons

- Since the company is still rebuilding and growing under new ownership, some processes are still being figured out - Certain teams are stretched thin while the company continues scaling

Pros

It’s been quite sometime since I worked there but I still can tell it’s ran by the same people that never knew what they were doing and weren’t qualified for in the first place. Nothing has seemed to change from the outside, but what do you expect, you kept around the same petty employees that have been drinking the tea for years.

Cons

That the company didn’t fully go out of business or into a better corporations hand that actually know how to grow a business - a restructure needed to happen but the tone hasn’t chaged one bit.
