Pros

Challenging, lots of opportunities to get recognition for hard work and achievements, a chance to be part of growing a region and an organization, a very positive corporate culture that is driven from the top down, focus on leadership rather than micro-management, fantastic CEO and other role models in the executive management team, focus on teamwork and collaboration across the company, really inclusive team spirit and an emphasis of assuming that you do know what you're doing until you prove otherwise which is very empowering.

Cons

Working in a fast paced, 'start up' type environment isn't for everyone. People that rely heavily on established processes or those that cant think outside the box in order to get the job done would potentially feel uncomfortable.

Pros

There are a handful of genuinely good people throughout the company - not within leadership.

Cons

Employees are expected to do more with less- leading to long hours and unsustainable workload. Work-life balance is talked about but not consistently demonstrated by leadership. The culture felt performance-driven at the expense of people. I often felt that employees were valued more for their output than as individuals. Speaking up, challenging decisions, or offering a different perspective did not feel psychologically safe. The CEO’s town hall messaging reinforces this culture. Statements such as “ If you don’t like it here, you can leave” and that employees who don’t learn Ai will be come “obsolete” came across as lacking empathy. Trust in leadership was low from my perspective.
