Pros

Flexibility, good systems, some good people around.

Cons

No people focus whatsoever. The same generic “where people matter” chants up and down the hallways, All people activities as purely a check the mark exercise.

Pros

I loved my team. I worked with some great people who really cared about the company and mission and gave it their all every day…even beyond working hours.

Cons

Upper management turned out to be micromanagers which eroded confidence that my team had for me. My work, even every word I said was picked apart and put down, even if it couldn’t be proven wrong. If it came from someone else it was accepted. I had to quit too soon for my mental sanity. Employees were also overworked and expected to put in many weekends and after hours on a consistent basis.

Where people matter

Recommend
Business Outlook

Pros

They're very flexible. Hybrid working is a great bonus. Office facilities and it department on site is helpful.

Cons

The big slogan is where people matter. At the moment, please consider the following: a lot of your employees are over worked and underpaid. Other companies are offering a lot more money for the same job. Since the recent acquisition employees feel the pressure of having to perform better and taking on a bigger workload. Is this really beneficial when one can do a job half hearted and rushed ? Wouldn't it be better and in everyone's interest to distribute the work load and get things done right and propper? Employees are tired...tired of having so much on and having to justify us when we can't get things done because it is too much.
