Pros

Most roles are remote which is nice. There are a ton of great people who are willing to help and have your back

Cons

2+ years post “merger” (really an acquisition in disguise), there is still constant change and chaos. If I were writing this review when we were NPD, I would have only great things to say. Leadership and private equity owners have no appreciation for employees and are extremely disconnected from the challenges we face on a daily basis. Despite significant revenue growth vs prior year, we’re still told we need to “really step it up” to meet the unrealistic budget goals. If you’re on a team that does achieve budget, there’s no recognition, you’re just handed more. As for technology, we’ve moved to systems that make our lives harder and don’t work half the time just so that the company can save a couple bucks. What else? Salaries are low compared to the market and forget about a bonus, that’s basically unheard of these days.

Pros

Ok you got a job...

Cons

This is absolutely the WORST company I ever worked for in a 15 year career. There is no leadership... it's a bunch of land of the broken toy "managers." People who have zero trust, micromanage and are only concerned about shall we say, greater aspirations since owned by private equity firm. Mass layoffs each quarter. The CEO is a talking head and the CTO really runs the firm. All smoke and mirrors folks...you all have seen the The Wizard of Oz. Here it is in real life... There is a much longer negative post listed here that is even more concise to the situation. Do yourself a BIG favor DO NOT COME to Work Here. So many people with exit strategies happening in the background.

Mess of a Merger

Pros

The NPD days were spectacular. Leadership communicated well and employees at all levels were listened to. The path to promotion was clear and we always knew the state of the company and details of executives’ plans.

Cons

Communication is a mess across the board. The CEO is a figure head with no idea what’s happening in the company. Executives force unrealistic goals and make us cut corners to meet them. There have been quarterly layoffs with no broad communication about them. Promotions and hiring are unheard of at this time with no backfill for eliminated positions. Career development has been of no importance to leaders as we scramble to meet these unrealistic expectations with little to no support.
