Pros

You get real insight on how to not manage a company, its staff and clients. You will be highly motivated to move on.

Cons

Penny-pinching, unethical, bullying, lying, self-serving, out of date management team. Lack of vision, direction and purpose. CEO is arrogant and a buffoon!

Pros

Working for a company that is the leader in its space exposes all employees to cutting edge technologies, know how and customer base. Lots of highly talented people to learn from and collaborate with. Little/no office politics. Feel like everyone wants the company to be successful. Lots of growth opportunities. Good work-life balance. The company supports remote and hybrid work. Arranges multiple activities to support team building and fun office atmosphere.

Cons

High workload at times. High churn at some admin positions

Pros

The PE firm made the wise decision to replace the former CEO. The new CEO is a significant improvement and has already brought about meaningful changes in the organization, even after just four months. He is the right person for the job, and we are on the right track.

Cons

Lack of employee acknowledgment in the form of compensation due to PE firms expectations which has greatly increased the attrition of really good talent as of recently.
