Pros

For years, Renaissance was a stable happy job. Benefits were good, work life balance were good.

Cons

We became hyper focused on hitting metrics. Pointing became a performance metric and no longer reflected real world work. Eventually layoffs started and I survived 2 waves before the third took me. Learned afterwards that Renaissance began outsourcing work overseas more or less right after.

Pros

Mainly great rank and file employees, who truly want to be successful and provide value for a mission, outcome based organization.

Cons

Culture of fear, that is driven from the top of the org down through the ranks. The real test of character reveals itself in times of duress, and unfortunately for the employees who are on pins and needles, the executive/senior leadership team has shown who they truly are. Ultimately, this shows up in the way that a company brand is represented, and becomes a contributor to negative growth, and a weapon for competitors to steal market share.
