Change is Good

Pros

- supportive teams and individuals that are driven by social impact - continued investments in both people and product - flexible and autonomous work culture that promotes creative problem solving - internal promotions and opportunities to learn new skills

Cons

- some outdated technologies and resistance to change, but seeing progress via new leaders motivating our movement in the right direction - mergers are wonderful! However growing pains are present (currently aligning benefits and corporate systems) - some silos between departments, but this is solved through direct communication and holding yourself and others accountable

Pros

The products that Bonterra inherited through the merger are solid and the customer base extensive.

Cons

Customer care is lacking, not because of the customer care teams but because the company has been starved. The knowledge base inside the company is starved. The rounds of layoffs drained the experience. What is left is stretched too thin. Morale is starved. HR's ridiculous incentive plans and the double-speak of "total compensation" is fooling no one. Product vision is absent. With so many existing paths to success trying to bend the customers to a branding exercise instead of unifying the products to build out synergies is silly. It also won't work. Look how well a focus on brand management has turned out for Boeing products. This ship is top heavy and will capsize.

Pros

Generally lovely and collaborative people work here. Or I guess I should say worked here since they’ve laid off 1/3 of the company in the last 12 months.

Cons

- 2 huge rounds of layoffs in 2023, totaling 28% of the company - weekly layoffs in 2024. This is not an exaggeration; they’re going department by department. Also, they’re now calling it “restructuring” rather than layoffs - current CEO is incredibly toxic. Engages with employees in public forums if you dare to disagree with him. Has a weekly blog (eyeroll) where he consistently states that if you’re not with him, you’re against him, and you should feel free to leave.
