Pros

Amazing people to work with, and some great learning opportunities. I have been able to use external learning budget to improve my skills & mindset. My manager is open, supportive and committed to helping us grow within our roles, even with the red tape in their way at times. I am able to completely be myself at work, not only am I accepted, but celebrated for who I am. Work/life balance is good, because my manager rocks! A lot of people did not understand the job of our CEO when he first started, and lots definitely missed what he was trying to do with his sense of humour. He’s going to continue to drive this company to bigger heights through growth & innovation and I see him for the human being he is, with a job to do! Change can be painful, but there is no growth without change!

Cons

There can be communication issues at times, but I can’t see that being different anywhere else. Promotions can be slow & salary increases could be better, especially for women… but I know they’re actively working on that.

Pros

There are a handful of genuinely good people throughout the company - not within leadership.

Cons

Employees are expected to do more with less- leading to long hours and unsustainable workload. Work-life balance is talked about but not consistently demonstrated by leadership. The culture felt performance-driven at the expense of people. I often felt that employees were valued more for their output than as individuals. Speaking up, challenging decisions, or offering a different perspective did not feel psychologically safe. The CEO’s town hall messaging reinforces this culture. Statements such as “ If you don’t like it here, you can leave” and that employees who don’t learn Ai will be come “obsolete” came across as lacking empathy. Trust in leadership was low from my perspective.
