Great Communication on Hard Decisions

Recommend

Pros

CLS is growing quickly and has shifted priorities and practices to keep up with its own momentum. That has included tough choices, but these have been communicated well and executed thoughtfully. Leadership is strong and experienced and has been working hard to create a new culture of communication and cooperation to improve upon legacy systems and attitudes. I feel certain that we're building something that can outlast us.

Cons

We could be a more diverse company.

Leadership doesn't appreciate talent; product headed for the dark ages

Pros

The SmartLab product is great.

Cons

Let me give you the inside scoop on what's been happening with our leadership team. So, picture this: we've got a fresh crew at the helm, all newbies in their roles, eager to make their mark. But here's the kicker – they're still finding their feet when it comes to leadership, management, and recognizing talent. In a recent shake-up, they made a tough call and axed a key member of our team, someone who was the heartbeat and brains of our product crew. And let me tell you, it's left a big gap. Remember when our company got snapped up by that new private equity firm? Well, they showed the door to our COO, the one who really knew the ropes and cared about each and every one of us. Now, here's where it gets interesting. The new honchos? They're all from PLTW, and it's starting to show in our roadmap. They're tinkering with what makes us special, trying to swap it out for what they think is a shinier, better version. But we know what's up – SmartLab's got its own magic, and we don't want to lose it. To top it all off, it feels like we're in the dark these days. No all-company meetings for what feels like forever, and the communication? Well, let's just say it's seen better days. Transparency? Accountability? Barely even on the radar.
