Pros
Remote work, some good direct managers are doing their best in a very bad situation Still some good people who work hard to uplift others as best as we can
Cons
I have been with the company for over 2 years, and what it used to be and what it has become is extremely sad and disappointing. This was a thriving workplace that was pushing local SEO forward with excellent management and good people. Since the merger in January they have made all of the wrong decisions. They have already backtracked on decisions they made 3 months ago and done trainings for. Change is unfortunate and necessary for companies but the way it is all handled is disturbing. They seem to have no sense of direction at the top, and are making rash decisions that are not calculated or data driven. They recently fired a group of employees (around a dozen) who did not have the option to turn their cameras on or microphones. So they could not ask questions. Now the decisions management is making seem as though they will directly affect quality of work we do for our clients, making our output worse. I am typing this on a day where no one has access to email, teams or any other form of communication or our shared files. The IT team was trying to make some changes over a weekend and now on Monday none of the employees can communicate. This place is a mess. They also do time tracking to see how often you are online and what exactly you are doing. They did this without telling anyone and team members found out because other team members discovered this. They were so afraid to be honest about this because they know it is wrong. If you can't trust your team to do their job well and on time without tracking every little thing they do, that is a reflection of poor management. I would not be able to recommend this in good faith to a friend or even an enemy.
