Pros
Since Emerald’s acquisition of our company, I’ve been impressed by how approachable and supportive the leadership team has been especially from a People and HR perspective. It’s refreshing to see leaders who genuinely take the time to listen, connect, and guide through change in such a thoughtful way. The CEO, in particular, has been incredibly kind, personable, and down-to-earth, it really sets the tone for the culture. The Chief People Officer has also been fantastic to work with pragmatic, empathetic, and clearly invested in creating a positive employee experience. Change always brings a bit of uncertainty, but with this kind of leadership, I’m genuinely looking forward to seeing how we grow together and what we can achieve as part of Emerald.
Cons
-As with any acquisition, there’s still some change and adjustment happening, processes and systems are evolving. -Communication rhythms are still settling as both teams integrate.
