Pros

Gifts during the holidays for workers

Cons

Where to begin.... - abysmal leadership - lack of attention to feedback - zero, I mean ZERO, training for any position - unrealistic expectations with a system that does not work - the CEO openly puts employees down in front of managers and employees - most extreme version of micro-management I have ever seen. The CEO drives around a robot to watch employees (there's already 10 plus cameras inside the warehouse) - The director of operations should be fired in my opinion for not doing their job. Production is at a standstill and the meetings they are have are all but meaningless. They bring nothing to the table or innovative to fix a product that is defective (which they are fully aware of). The level of ignorance and inability to recognize that leadership at all levels is failing is mind-blowing. - They WILL throw a lower level employee under the bus for their failures (whom they did not train, gave zero guidance on expectations, and leave the individuals development up to them). - Their PTO is a complete joke. You need to work at the company for two months before you are eligible to even ACCRUE any amount of PTO. - The lack of policies is astounding. Do not expect HR or your manager to protect you. - Not accurately reporting the results from the employee survey that they gave out. - There is a reason that the front door is a revolving one. They go through employees monthly (think about why they don't offer any PTO benefits for the first 60 days)

Thank you for taking the time to share your perspective. While my experience at Cirrus has been recent, I truly believe that leadership recognizes the importance of culture and is committed to nurturing it moving forward. Using your feedback and the feedback of others, we will build a people strategy that will enhance many of the topics you've highlighted here and more. We've been doing a lot of work to create greater organizational alignment and we are excited about what the future will bring for our team members. I encourage you to follow our progress along the way as we strive towards continuous improvement in everything we do.

Pros

The People: This is genuinely the best part of working here. The "no ego" rule is actually followed. You are working with smart, driven people who want to win together. Intentional Culture: A lot of companies put values on the wall and ignore them. Leadership here genuinely tries to live by them. They aren't perfect, but when they mess up, they usually own it and try to fix it. Impact: Because we are in growth mode, you get to touch a lot of things. You aren't just a cog in a wheel; you can see how your work directly hits the revenue goals. Transparency: The All-Hands meetings and Open Office Hours are actually useful. Leadership shares the good, the bad, and the ugly, which builds a lot of trust.

Cons

Growing Pains: If you need a playbook for everything, you will hate it here. Processes break constantly because we outgrow them every 6 months. You have to be okay with ambiguity and building the plane while flying it. Work-Life Balance Fluctuates: It’s not a 9-to-5 "punch the clock" place. There are sprints where we are grinding to hit a launch or a quarterly goal. It’s manageable, but you have to be good at setting your own boundaries. Communication Silos: As we've gotten bigger, cross-functional communication has gotten harder. We are working on it, but it's a friction point.

Pros

Many of the sales team are great people.

Cons

Leadership is unprofessional and does not put the customer anywhere on the list of priorities. Prices change frequently and without notifying the sales team. Zero transparency. People disappear and there is no accountability. No source of truth. Partners quit because they don’t get paid. Projects are cancelled. High turnover. Absent character values.
