Pros

It's a small business so you get to know people you work with.

Cons

New execs came in that changed the culture, this was a catalyst for the revolving door. It exposed underlying issues that were worsened during the COVID business environment. There was talk of creative ways to stave off layoffs early on including a pay cut for the top of the company, but layoffs (more than 25% of the company!) happened before that was ever brought up again. Many of those laid off had been there much longer than me and were extremely loyal - some were even new parents. It was really sad to see it happen. There are better-paying places to work in our metro area that treat employees better.

Thank you for your feedback. The reduction in force that occurred earlier this year was a strategic decision that was made in order to meet changing business needs and to better align the company for future growth. While I understand this reasoning does not make it any easier on those employees who were impacted, all of whom were loyal, valued employees as you noted, the restructure was a necessary action. We hope that the separation package that was issued to all affected employees assists them as they seek their next opportunity. We appreciate and are thankful for your time spent as a member of our team and wish you, and all those affected, the best of luck.

Pros

If you love problem-solving, this is the place to be. Every day is a new puzzle centered on innovation and efficiency. That makes every day feel unique and not like you are doing the same dull tasks over and over again. There are many incredibly smart people who are also remarkably kind, making it a nice team to be a part of.

Cons

The company is in a dynamic transition phase, moving from a medium-small to a medium-large firm. If you enjoy stability and routine, the frequent pivoting might be a challenge, but for those who like to build, it’s a great time to be here. Currently, many of people are wearing multiple hats to bridge the gap. It can be demanding at times, but there is a clear sense that as we scale, we will be able to bring in additional resources for those really "nice to have" roles.
