Pros
Pact are still a really important company. The coffee and higher moral standard of paying farmers a fair wage is admirable and should be celebrated more. There exists a strong group of talented and interesting people who I loved working with.
Cons
Anyone familiar with the work of Simon Simek will understand the concept of 'leaders eating last', which I would interpret as doing everything in their power to ensure that the team below them were supported and given everything they needed to achieve. At Pact, I didn't get the reservation. In my case, I (and the agencies we worked with) were managed out and given very loose reasons as to why - replaced by friends and trustees. This happened with no previous negative comment on my performance, three weeks after my probation had finished, a day after my holiday, and without HR representation present. Heartless and wrong for a company who live and die by their strong ethics.
