Pros

1. Adventure in Overload: Enjoy the never-ending thrill of an expanding workload with no help in sight. 2. Psychic Salary Boosts: Experience the joy of promotions without the hassle of actual salary increases. 3. Minimalist Benefit Strategy: Who needs robust parental leave or PTO anyway? Embrace simplicity! 4. Leadership Lotto: Guess the next big decision by our CEO—it’s always a surprise! Cost-Cutting Creativity: Watch in awe as every corner that can be cut, will be—innovation in austerity! 5. Global Displacement Opportunity: Get a front-row seat to the outsourcing strategy that could redefine your career—literally overseas.

Cons

1. Overworked and understaffed: Constant denial of requests to hire more help. 2. Reduced benefits: Cuts to parental leave and the elimination of unlimited PTO. 3. Underpaid: Salary levels below industry standards without proper compensation for promotions. 4. Poor leadership: CEO with a questionable track record and decision-making that seems to prioritize cost-cutting over employee well-being. 5. Lack of transparency: Little to no honest communication about company changes and future plans. 5. Risk of offshoring: Growing likelihood of jobs being moved overseas as part of cost-cutting measures.

Overhired and Underperformed

Pros

- Had great staff members to serve as managers and mentors, at least until they started firing them.

Cons

- Laid a huge contingent of the company off over the past two years, including high performers and senior employees. - Not only did they overhire, but they overfired judging by the fact that they later attempted to rehire some of the laid-off staff. - Never trust companies who serve at the mercy of private equity companies, you are one boardroom decision away from being cut along with most of your colleagues no matter how well you perform. - Product is antique by modern IRT/RTSM standards. Without a major revamp, they will continue to lose ground to more forward-thinking competitors.

A Poor Start

Pros

Coworkers are, for the most part, great. Driven individuals with a can-do attitude that are used to doing more with less. Opportunities for remote and hybrid work are there, for now.

Cons

In a very short space of time, Perceptive is set on proving all of the stereotypes associated with private equity-owned businesses to be true. Hiring is frozen (this is an assumption based on personal experience, because freezes are never communicated to those most impacted by them), benefits are being slashed and employees are being asked to do even more with even less. 10 days of paid parental leave is a joke, as is starting the year with zero sick time- and being told that we still have the "opportunity" to use PTO or to take sick time unpaid is a slap in the face. We're all waiting to hear how you've decided to save money on our health insurance.
