Pros
When I started at this company, it was full of passionate colleagues and leaders who really believed in the product they were creating and wanted to change the payments industry for hospitality. Obviously, not all grand visions can come to fruition, but I did have many opportunities to learn, grow, and transition into new roles before Loren took over as CEO. Despite what it has become, I personally feel grateful for my time at Arryved for the professional development and future opportunities it granted me.
Cons
All pros being stated, things took a turn for the worse when management changed and the mercenary approach to running the company has driven it into the ground. The effective leaders were pushed out or left voluntarily; the extremely homogenous individuals left in their stead do not have the employees' or customers' best interest in mind. Energy is spent on building things customers don't want and we went years without addressing basic customer requests or releasing a new feature or product. The culture soured completely by the time I left, amidst an exodus of employees who weren't white men. It genuinely saddens me to see what this company has become, but I feel worse for the people still trapped working here.
