Dedicated team but low pay and high turnover

Recommend
CEO approval
Business Outlook

Pros

The team members who are in the weeds

Cons

* Low pay and lack of career progression. Last year I had my first raise in years but it was a VERY small increase that hasn't improved my quality of life unfortunately. This year they pushed the merit increase by half a year. There isn't a doubt among all of colleagues that this is an intentional move to get more folks to quit / save money. * High employee turnover. * Multiple waves of layoffs and departures since 2024. Lack of communication and planning around layoffs leads to us having to figure out solutions on the fly and it honestly does not seem like that leadership cares about how these layoffs are affecting the CURRENT business. * Rotating door of Execs who have no idea what's going on in the ground. We're just treated like numbers on a spreadsheet.

Pros

Strong company culture and collaborative environment. Opportunity to work with global clients and large-scale projects. Exposure to diverse teams, tools, and processes. Flexible and remote-friendly working model.

Cons

Career growth can be slow or unclear depending on the team and role. Limited opportunities to develop beyond a specialized function. Internal mobility and promotion paths may not always align with individual goals. Large organization structure can make progression less visible.
