Pros

I only had 2 weeks in the job so it's hard to think of one.

Cons

The message from the CEO was everything is fine. A few days later, a third of the workforce was suddenly laid off. I was given no warning in advance and was removed from all internal IT systems within 10 minutes of being told. I also only got 1 week's notice pay because I was still in my probation period. There was no other compensation offered. I left a stable job which I was in for 4 years to join ROOM so that was particularly disappointing. I'd also taken the time to visit their New York office when I was there on my holiday just before starting the job. It didn't count for anything in the end!

Pros

Great people, healthy work-life balance, competitive pay, and strong momentum since the OFS acquisition. It's an exciting time to be part of the company.

Cons

PTO and holiday offerings could be improved. There is also room to simplify processes and strengthen collaboration between OFS and ROOM.
