Pros

Being on the right team makes it easy to thrive—even if it’s just by bonding over the chaos and dysfunction unfolding around you. Sometimes, the shared experience of navigating a complete dumpster fire is what truly brings a team together.

Cons

The C-suite’s focus appears to be more on selling the company than on fostering long-term growth or building a sustainable business. This is reflected in the ongoing reliance on a 'start-up' mentality, even after a decade in business, instead of adopting a more mature, strategic approach to operations. While the narrative around 'equity benefits' is often emphasized (and used as a substitute for pay increases), the reality is that the only true beneficiaries of a sale will be the shareholders and the executive team. Meanwhile, staff are left to navigate the ongoing challenges created by constant pivots and a disjointed—or often nonexistent—business strategy. This ongoing instability reflects a lack of focus, care, and maturity from the executive leadership.

The startup world can be stressful and demanding, but with it comes potential for high reward. With all of our Team Members being partners in the company through our equity program the hard work could really pay off in the long run!

Pros

2023 was a hard year at Alviere. There were two significant layoffs, and major changes in the c suite (including the departure of the original CEO). Fortunately, the leaner team is focused and renewed. It's a much less tumultuous place to work than in the past.

Cons

Uncertainty about the future of the company still lingers. Though there have been very positive changes and signals, this is still a startup and that inherently implies risk.

Thank you! We appreciate your recognition of what’s improving as well as calling out the areas where we need to focus. We’re learning from 2023 to make this year better, including ongoing transparency, regular performance reviews, and setting clear expectations for the entire team as we move forward.
