A Once Thriving Workplace Diminished Post-Merger - Anonymous employee Bonterra Employee Review

Before the merger, working at NFG (now Bonterra) was an exceptional experience. The work environment was among the best, characterized by its dynamism and a strong sense of camaraderie among colleagues. It was a place where talent thrived, and I had the privilege of collaborating with some of the most skilled and dedicated professionals in the industry. However, the post-merger phase brought significant changes that have impacted the company culture and its people deeply. One of the most challenging aspects has been the multiple rounds of layoffs, which have resulted in the loss of many talented colleagues. Watching these individuals leave has been difficult, not just on a personal level but also for the collective morale and the company’s reservoir of expertise. Additionally, it has become increasingly apparent that the compensation packages offered are below market standards. This discrepancy has not only affected employee satisfaction but could potentially hinder the company's ability to attract and retain top talent in the future.
