      Pros

      NONE anymore. It used to be a company that valued people and had a mission but not any more.

      Cons

      The executive leadership team lacks clear direction and a coherent long-term strategy, which creates ongoing uncertainty and frequent shifts in priorities. Decision-making is often reactive rather than strategic, making it difficult for teams to plan or execute effectively. The culture is not particularly people-oriented. Management tends to operate in a top-down, authoritarian manner, with an emphasis on control rather than trust or empowerment. This can create a fear-based environment where employees are hesitant to speak openly or challenge ideas. Working hours are consistently long, with expectations that extend well beyond a standard workweek. Despite this, compensation is only average relative to market, which makes the workload feel unsustainable over time. Work-life balance is a significant challenge.

      Thank you for sharing your experience and perspective. We recognize how frustrating it can be when an organization you once felt connected to changes in ways that no longer align with your expectations. Feedback like this is not taken lightly. We acknowledge that clarity of strategy, consistency in direction, and leadership effectiveness are critical to building trust and engagement. As our organization has evolved, there have been moments where change moved faster than our ability to clearly communicate the “why” or provide teams with the stability they needed. That is something we have taken intentional steps to address. Over the past period, we have been focused on strengthening how we lead and operate - investing in clearer planning and prioritization, leadership development, and more deliberate conversations around workload, expectations, and sustainability. We are also reinforcing accountability at the leadership level, with an emphasis on long term outcomes rather than short term reactions. We want to be transparent that our environment is not without challenge. The work can be demanding, and it requires adaptability and resilience. While many people find purpose and growth in this setting, we recognize that it may not be the right fit for everyone, particularly for those seeking a more predictable pace or structure. We appreciate the directness of your advice and the time you took to share it. Listening, reflecting, and improving are ongoing responsibilities for us, and we remain committed to building a culture where people feel heard, respected, and supported. We wish you continued success in your next chapter.

      Great people in pockets of the company, but leadership and direction are a challenge

      Pros

      The IT team is a solid group of people and one of the best I’ve worked with. That’s something many across the organization would agree on. There are also many hardworking individuals across the company who genuinely care about doing good work and supporting their colleagues.

      Cons

      The biggest challenge is the lack of clear direction from leadership. Priorities can change quickly, often without much communication or planning, which makes it difficult for teams to stay focused or execute effectively. There also seems to be instability in roles and responsibilities across multiple departments. Expectations can shift after people are hired, and responsibilities sometimes evolve in ways that aren’t clearly defined or supported. Leadership culture can feel very top-down. Decision-making appears concentrated within a small leadership circle, and employees outside of that group may feel their perspectives are overlooked or not meaningfully considered. This can create an environment where people hesitate to raise concerns or offer feedback. As a result, collaboration across teams sometimes suffers, and individuals may feel undervalued or disconnected from decision-making that directly impacts their work. Workload expectations can also become disconnected from available resources. When priorities shift frequently and timelines remain tight, teams end up carrying sustained pressure that can lead to burnout. Overall, the company has a lot of talented people, but stronger leadership alignment and clearer communication would go a long way in creating a more stable and productive environment.

      Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We’re glad to hear that the IT team and many colleagues made a positive impact, our people and the way they support one another are core to who we are. We acknowledge the concerns and recognize there have been periods where the pace of change outpaced our communication, and we recognize the impact that can have on employees. We’re actively working to improve how we set priorities, define roles, and involve employees in decisions that affect their work, while also placing greater emphasis on sustainable workloads. As an organization that is evolving and building for the future, our environment is fast paced and can be energizing for many, while not always the right fit for everyone. We value thoughtful feedback like this as it helps us continue to improve, and we wish you all the best in what’s next.
