Pros

Remote flexibility. Compensation is better than some other services companies

Cons

Severely Understaffed and overworked Quality of talent is poor at all levels. Much of the leadership has no good large enterprise-level experience and it shows. They don't know how to scale or think big from growth, operations perspective. Much as they claim to be PE owned and not short term results focused – it is all they do. Focus month to month -- even shorter than quarter by quarter thinking.

Pros

- Great team from department head down - Collaboration is encouraged - Self-starter culture with good room for side projects - "See something, say something" approach allows questioning methodology without a feeling of personal attacks or "dumb questions" and enables team members to support each other in a safe environment - Work from home

Cons

- Executive leadership does not know what they want - Consistent turnover in C-Suite leads to departments acting like small internal companies rather than part of a larger system - Limited permission access for team members means that any absence or time-off can lead to a backlog of deployments
