Pros
- company finally has a singular focus, now it needs to execute on the strategy
- real effort put into onboarding new employees and training them in the space
- continue to find your footing around mission, values and culture, you have an opportunity to create something new and unique here
- friendly employees made me feel at home quickly. i also found my colleagues very driven, genuine and very engaged in their roles
- company continues to sponsor and support volunteer opportunities
- many women in leadership positions, including C-suite roles
- great pushes toward a fair work/life balance, most positions/depts allow you to work from home when necessary
- HR did an engagement survey earlier in the year, and shared overall results with everyone in the company. they also met with each department and went over their results, line by line, so more transparency than I've experienced at previous companies
- Mark is the right CEO to lead this new company
Cons
- no middle management or attempt to develop it. this creates a lot of failed projects and inability to execute.
- manage out low performers, especially those that manage people; there are at least 2 departments where the entire team has turned over and everyone knows it's due to lack of leadership from the top
- the sales compensation plan has drawn fair criticism and needs to be reworked in order to provide maximum motivation to those capable of making substantive bottomline impact
- not a con, but you should know it's a fluid, ever-changing environment. if you aren't comfortable with ambiguity and a fast-pace, this may not be the place for you.
