Pros

The leadership is tightly aligned from top to bottom with a clear vision for Sonars future and culture which I believe will take us to the next level as an organization. The culture is inviting and inspiring and I made the right decision by joining the team.

Cons

Changes are being made which will always have there challenges but there is a clear plan forward and I can see we the leadership is focused on improving them with as little disruptions as possible.

Pros

+Once upon a time, this was a great place to be. Not anymore. +in Austin your parking is paid for. + there used to be really great people that worked here but narcissistic management has chased them all out. + if the CEO likes you or you are part of his crew then you will be overpaid and not required to uphold any types of standards

Cons

-it’s an absolute joke. The only way that the CEO has a mediocre score is because he must be bribing people to leave positive reviews. -you live in fear every day coming to work -cameras at entry, constant micromanagement feom leadership team and everyone getting blamed for the business and it’s downward spiral -some of the new executive leaders that have been brought in over the last year are laughable, anyone that was decent or could’ve changed the toxic environment has been chased out or left out of frustration. -the fact that the executive management team doesn’t see a problem is a problem
