Pros

Flexible work arrangements, very open to remote / hybrid

Cons

Lack of Communication and Transparency: Leadership offers very little communication or transparency, especially during significant events like layoffs. The absence of a clear communication plan creates uncertainty and fear among employees, leaving everyone wondering if they are next. Frequent Reorganizations Without a Clear Strategy: The company has undergone several reorganizations over the past 18 months. This raises concerns about whether there is a coherent long-term plan in place, as these frequent changes can be destabilizing. Disconnect Between Leadership and Employees: Leadership appears detached, often operating from an "ivory tower" without being held accountable. Meanwhile, the rest of the workforce faces minimal bonus or compensation increases, creating a sense of inequity. Unplanned Facility Closures and Compensation Changes: Facility closures and changes to sales compensation seem to occur without forewarning or input from the affected teams. This lack of engagement with frontline staff exacerbates the feeling of disconnect between leadership and employees. Deteriorating Company Culture: There seems to be little to no effort toward fostering a positive company culture. Many offices, including two HQ offices, remain largely empty, contributing to a sense of isolation and disengagement.

Pros

Most of the people you work with are great. At least the ones I knew where, but most of them were let go.

Cons

There are some bad apples in the cart. You know there's a power struggle with certain types of employees. Too much shifting, constant change and no real direction. I've worked on too many campaigns/projects that didn't see the light of day as business direction changed. A lot of great people were let go and the rest jumped ship.
