Pros

Made some great friends along the way - passionate and supportive of each others. Fun events, happy hour, that's about it.

Cons

There is no heart or soul in the leadership team. Focused on replacing good people with great knowledge without a plan or direction so everything just keeps getting worse because the fundamental problems still exist. HR is too busy sending surveys and controlling outcome to paint a false picture of their success Asking employees to write good reviews on Glassdoor to help reviews and make culture and CEO appear better isn't working. CEO talks transparency, honest open - Not at all. No one knows what's going on and everyone is scared to say anything or they'll lose their jobs. They don't even ask any questions during exit interview to try to improve. Just some low level HR who is clueless making a one minute poor attempt at explaining cobra. Of course since HR controls the message and doesn't care for real feedback, no reason to find out why someone is leaving. They just ask us employees to write inflated positive reviews.

Pros

Great benefits and unlimited/flexible PTO

Cons

Workload expectations were unsustainable. To meet the basic requirements of my role, I regularly worked 50–70 hours per week. While the company offered flexible PTO, there was little meaningful coverage when employees were out, often resulting in even more work upon return. Frequent layoffs and ongoing staff reductions meant existing clients were repeatedly reassigned from departing employees to the remaining team members, further increasing workloads and making it harder to provide the level of service clients deserved. As responsibilities grew, client escalations became increasingly common, and support from leadership during those situations was inconsistent. The moment that best captured the disconnect between leadership and employee reality was a company training on having a "growth mindset" that included the message, "It's not bandwidth. It's mindset." For employees already struggling with excessive workloads and burnout, this felt dismissive of legitimate capacity concerns. The culture ultimately led to significant burnout, high stress, and declining morale. The company has talented employees and clients, but leadership would benefit from addressing workload management, staffing levels, accountability, and employee well-being before focusing on mindset and productivity initiatives.
