Pros

Very good benefits Comfortable work environment Company direction is to provide partnerships, less focus on cold vendor relationships Coming from the recent acquired company, this organization is like a breath of fresh air. I had to laugh a little bit after reading some negative reviews because they are current employees. If it is that bad, why are you still there? Do you not understand that people do not take "negative-current employees" seriously? You do not know how good you have it and the opportunities to shine that you have in front of you!

Cons

Communication could be better. I am a bit surprised by the lack of communication. Town hall meetings are always helpful.

Pros

The people are some of the best and like family. We care a lot about our teams and our customers. There are good leaders here but it has just become too hard for us to lead the way they want to.

Cons

Executive Leadership, especially the CEO. The culture has changed a lot since he replaced the former CEO. He does not operate with the same values that have been a part of the company ever since I got here. He rules by fear, control, micromanagement, and is unapproachable. You can see it in meetings with the business and even in our Company meetings. It is uncomfortable. He has started only bringing people in from his former network and they are bringing in their friends. Everything is India focused and North America people are losing their jobs and those that are left are burned out from the excessive workload. We are watching good employees leave either on their own or because they are forced out. The optics of who is leaving and why are not good. I want this to work but it feels like a sinking ship at this point. Our customers aren't even happy with us anymore and that makes our jobs even harder.
