Pros

There are many brilliant and amazing people working for Leapgen outside of executive leadership and management.

Cons

There is a massive lack of direction and support provided to employees and clear favoritism. Employees are told they are empowered, supported, cared for, and loved - yet, if someone shares any feedback, constructive criticism, what they feel are opportunities for improvement, and their ideas to enhance anything they are quickly silenced and most of the time retaliated against. This organization preaches many things they do not practice. There is blatant ego-driven leadership, manipulative gaslighting micromanagement, and beneath everything, the facade that is Leapgen is the truth and reality for many employees who experience a culture of fear, are treated in ways that make them feel as though they do not belong, and are not valued. Behind the curtain of smoke and mirrors are people who want to make a positive impact with their work, and ideas, and provide others care and support. Unfortunately, all of the amazing and talented people stuck behind the curtain are told to be quiet and to do as they are told, and if they are upset or disagree they are told they are wrong, alienated from others, or even written up, placed on probation, or simply fired. The rampant lack of trust creates uncertainty and truly a feeling of being unsafe.

Pros

1. The people: Leapgen is made up of the most kind, supportive and brilliant people I have ever worked with. I truly love the people I work with every day, it is what has kept me here for over 4 years. 2. The heart: The leadership team truly cares about and driving positive change in the industry and about the people who make up Leapgen. They are humble, kind and approachable people who truly care about the wellbeing of the workforce. Often checking in on how you are doing (green, yellow and red) then immediately responding with how they can support if you are not 'green'. You are encouraged to bring your whole self to work, be yourself, bring your ideas, be honest and be human. 3. Transparency: The company hosts bi-weekly all hands meetings where the values are celebrated, the goals are openly discussed and tracked and teams are encouraged to share customer stories to help other team members grow. The values (LEAP): Love, Energy, Audacity and Proof are celebrated, challenged and brought forward on a daily basis (both internally and externally). 4. The opportunity to learn: The companies brand presence in this industry is stellar. Leapgen has built a top-notch advisory bench. The most brilliant minds in the space. Learning from this group of senior consultants is not something you will find at other firms. 5. The work: Leapgen is a digital transformation company shaping the NOW of work. As an employee at Leapgen you have the opportunity to make a positive impact on a daily basis, work with incredible clients/ top companies and be creative and audacious in what you do.

Cons

As a small growing company there are of course challenges / opportunities to progress and mature, what makes the difference between Leapgen and other small organizations I have worked for is the transparency of changes and openness to feedback. There is lack of process in many areas which can be a challenge for individuals who thrive in environments with lots of structure and defined process. This could also be a pro -- because of this, each employee is encouraged to do what is best for them and in many times, new processes have been adopted broadly.
