Pros

1. Enthusiastic, collaborative, supportive teams. Very little politics, everyone is earnest and working towards a common goal. 2. Transparent, down-to-earth executives. The new CEO has been a homerun. He is very energetic, he leads by example and cares for the people as much as the business. 3. A great product that makes a difference. It feels good to work on a product that can and has saved lives. Seeing the fruits of your labor go towards that as opposed to say, fintech or martech, is refreshing. 4. Growing, high trajectory business outlook. Alertmedia is growing by every metric (revenue, market share, headcount, etc.) and is poised to dominate the market of emergency comms. 5. Good compensation. Solid salaries, yearly bonus, 3% 401k match. 6. Hybrid work environment. You can be in office as much as you desire. Full time, hybrid, or remote.

Cons

The only real con I have is that, as a hybrid/remote environment, death by zoom meeting can occur. We need to invest in strategies that help us work better asynchronously as opposed to replicating the office remotely.

Pros

Great culture. Collaborative environment. Transparent leadership. Growth opportunities.

Cons

Hard to think of any. Nowhere is perfect but nothing worth writing as a con that someone should worry about.

Pros

Genuinely good product that solves a real problem. The people are smart, capable and likable

Cons

Private Equity (Vista) owned, with the operating model that comes with it Workload consistently exceeds the staffing in place to handle it Critical processes often rest on a single person Prioritization is unclear; everything is always urgent at once Goals are set extremely high and framed as safe to miss, but in practice missing one is treated as failure Project deadlines are set by commitments made above, then enforced regardless of capacity or feasibility Crunch is constant, moving from one project to the next with no capacity for recovery Workloads require long days on top of working nights, weekends, holidays and even while on “PTO” Wins go largely unacknowledged while mistakes are surfaced publicly Compensation and benefits run below market Turnover is frequent, with responsibilities reshuffled onto whoever remains The issues are structural, not personality-driven, so they persist regardless of who’s in the seat
