Pros
When I first started at Absorb, they were doing everything right! HR completely transformed the culture into an inclusive environment that fostered collaboration and growth and promoted work-life balance. I was truly amazed by Mike's leadership, particularly throughout the pandemic. The company allowed the flexibility of working from home, provided great benefits, and ensured their employees were set up with every resource they needed to avoid burnout and stay happy and healthy. Since the company was acquired and new leadership took over, the company culture has taken a nose-dive and turnover rates are crazy high. Some current pros are that they still offer flexibility to work from home, have an incredible state-of-the-art office, and good benefits.
Cons
Unfortunately, there were a lot of changes once the company was acquired and new leadership took over, which left a very toxic work environment. Previous autonomy in roles was replaced with micro-managing, they LOWERED PAY in some roles (that were already well-below industry standards), there is now extremely high turnover so it's hard to build relationships, and anytime leadership is confronted about these issues, it seems like they always have a canned response ready that is completely disingenuous. At Absorb, it feels like you are just another number and if you are not in the top elite group of employees, you feel completely disposable. It makes people not want to work towards moving the company forward if they're never recognized or appreciated. There is a complete disconnect between upper management and lower level staff and no transparency in the organization. You see the same old song and dance when other companies are acquired and Absorb is no different.
