Convergence Networks

Is this your company?

Used to be amazing. Sadly is having the soul sucked out of it. People jumping ship left and right. - Anonymous employee Convergence Networks Employee Review

Pros

• The company used to really go the extra mile to take care of its employees. That's not as true today as it used to be, but there are still some nice hold-outs, such as great PTO and Sick time policies, on top of 10 paid holidays per year, Professional Development/Volunteering days, and bereavement and jury duty leave that is better than average. Also decent health insurance, vision, dental, and nice company merch (hoodies, hats, t-shirts). • You can tell that the company is trying to be transparent and are genuinely trying to solve the problems, but it feels like they are not doing enough and are going about things the wrong way. There are naturally going to be some growing pains in a three-way merger with massive changes in leadership, but many employees I've heard from haven't had their concerns addressed. • There are still a lot of great people at the company, but they are leaving fast. • You can work remote and they will help you get a decent home office setup. You are also afforded a lot of autonomy to get your work done, which is appreciated.

Cons

• When upper management starts posting five star reviews you know there is a problem (see below). • Portland and Lansing locations need a lot more diversity in their staff. Portland is almost all men, and Lansing seems to have zero racial diversity. • It appears a purge of existing staff is preferred to making things right with the current ones. This is the biggest reason for the low score. • Everyone is completely buried in work, and it is getting worse. • Merger and sale to venture capitalist group has transformed and largely killed the heart of the company. • Training opportunities could be much better.

We've definitely not done enough to help our people get through these challenges times. I'm the first to admit that this hasn't been easy for anyone. We are however working on our overall compensation strategy and trying to get feedback and empower all leaders to help make decisions to help move us forward. We're fortunate to have Eric give us his insights every week in our leadership calls and we're continuing to try and keep our culture intact as we scale. It won't be the same as before, but we believe with everyone's insight and help we can continue to be people first.

Pros

There are still good employees here. Most of the people doing the day-to-day work care about clients, teammates, and doing the job right. The problem is that the people carrying the company are not the ones being protected, rewarded, or listened to.

Cons

The company used to talk like it was people first. That no longer feels true. It now feels like every decision is filtered through cost cutting, optics, and whatever makes the company look better on paper. Growth opportunities have become mostly talk. Employees are told there is room to grow, but internal people are often passed over while outside hires are brought in above them. People who want to move up can do the work, prove themselves, and still be skipped when the next role opens. That sends a clear message: loyalty and internal knowledge do not matter much here. A lot of people are leaving, and those roles are not always backfilled. The work does not disappear. It gets spread across whoever is still here. That means more pressure, more workload, and fewer resources, while leadership continues acting like this is normal. Compensation has also become a major issue. Many employees did not get meaningful raises. Some bonuses were paid out below what people expected. At the same time, it is hard not to notice that top leadership still seems to be taken care of. When regular employees are told the money is not there, but executive pay, executive bonuses, and executive priorities appear untouched, people see exactly where they stand. The biggest problem is trust. Leadership talks about caring, but the actions say something different. Employees are expected to sacrifice, absorb more work, accept less, and stay positive while senior leadership protects itself. The company feels less like a workplace building something long term and more like an asset being polished up for ownership, investors, or an eventual sale.
