Pros

Working from home. Flexible hours if needed for an appointment or an event. Great colleagues and in my experience I have had great management.

Cons

It’s very sad to see the company that I worked 8+ years decline the way it has. What was once a joyful culture, has become toxic. Individuals are so worried about their jobs that they will throw their colleagues under the bus without blinking an eye. This is not specific to employees, but management as well. The collaboration that once was great, open minded, inclusive, and market driven, is gone. People are terrified of losing their jobs. Excellent long term employees are being forced out or leaving because the unrealistic demands, expectations, or lack of transparency. Trust is lost among employees and management due to constant change and layoffs. I have been told that the only constant at Cielo is change, but how about consistency? I have flexed and adapted to change to accommodate the demands of this company over the past 8+ years and was always happy to do it because of the culture Cielo encompassed. I worked on 8 clients in my tenure and loved the experience, the excitement, and opportunity to change a person’s life along with making the company better because of the people we hired. The changes that are happening now are slowly destroying a once great company, due to loss of trust and transparency. We preach about building trust with the client but it is almost impossible to perform top tier when you lack that trust on your own team because the company infrastructure is so unstable. Confidence is gone in employees and management due to micro management from the top down. Unfortunately, due to this, the negative effects have trickled down to all levels.

And I absolutely agree that trust and transparency extend to both our internal teams and clients. It’s disappointing that your personal situation led to miscommunication – it’s always our intention to support all our people and recognize their efforts regularly and I apologize that you felt your concerns were not adequately addressed. I see you have now have left the organization bur I would like to invite you to discuss your concerns with me directly. If you are comfortable, you can contact me at Marissa.Geist@cielotalent.com.
