Pros
The last year has brought a lot of change at Togetherwork, and while it hasn’t been easy, many of the shifts were overdue. For a long time, there simply wasn’t enough focus on true product management or on properly marketing what are genuinely strong, but often niche, products. The result was that our solutions were not reaching the audiences it should have, and teams weren’t aligned around clear priorities.
Leadership finally has a clear vision and strategy. The new CEO and executive team understand product management, market positioning, and the need for discipline.
Stronger focus on building and marketing products effectively. After years of underinvestment in proper product practices, there is now real alignment and prioritization.
Increased diversity at the senior level. More gender and racial diversity in leadership than ever before, positively impacting culture and decision-making.
Greater investment in learning & development. Employees now have more structured opportunities for professional growth, skill building, and leadership development than in the past.
More mobility and movement across the organization. Talent is being actively moved into the right roles, creating fresh perspectives and breaking old silos.
Strong push toward AI enablement. The company is taking AI seriously, embedding it into processes, product strategy, and tools to modernize how teams work.
More frequent and transparent communication. Monthly town hall meetings are more consistent, candid, and information-rich than in previous years, giving employees a clearer view of what's happening across the company.
Higher expectations and accountability. Clear goals, measurable outcomes, and more transparency around performance.
Cons
The pace of change has been difficult. Rapid restructuring and new expectations have created some strain across teams.
Communication during transitions is not always complete. While town halls have improved, some operational decisions are still not fully explained.
Resistance from parts of the workforce. Employees who grew accustomed to a less accountable remote-work culture have struggled with new demands.
Long-tenured staff feel disrupted. Many previous processes or roles are being challenged or replaced, creating uncertainty.
Short-term instability. The transformation is necessary, but the realignment phase can feel chaotic as priorities shift and teams adjust.
