      Good potential, but hindered by tops-down culture

      Anonymous employee

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Potential to work for a place with a good opportunity to become an industry leader, or at least go public

      Cons

      * Company tripled in size after a merger in early 2026, and leadership hasn't yet figured out the necessary new behaviors and processes. * Extremely tops-down culture: Expectations to drop everything and pivot when execs have a random thought that they're too busy to clarify impedes progress towards a healthy "ownership mentality"

      Buyer Beware

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Technically challenging environment. You can pursue a large number of various technical challenges and build up your own skill sets.

      Cons

      This organization and leadership are very political and very toxic. You are better off remaining an unknown entity to the executive level else you will have a target on your back. Lots of 'feel good' public messaging but that is only for show. Executive leadership is more concerned with obedience of the employees than building a healthy business.
