Pros

The people were amazing and make it great, even during tumultuous times.

Cons

Leadership, but especially the CEO was green. Lots of turn over in the Executive Team which lead to a lack of trust in leadership and lack of direction.

Sorry to see we only got one star when the most important was top notch, as you say, our people are amazing. And I have to take my hat off for the hard and great work they have done over the last three years from we started. I am so proud of what we have achieved together. According to Malcolm Gladwell it takes 10,000 hours to become an expert. That is almost five years. My grandma is claiming I am white with dark hair and brown eyes, but maybe she is wrong and I am an alien that is green…. Anyway, you are right, this is my first CEO job for a larger organization and also my first US based CEO job. I am not claiming I am an expert, but I will get there with the help of the organization and trying, failing and learning. And I can tell you, it is so difficult to find the right people when you hire, but it seems like we are getting there. Thank you for your honest feedback

Pros

Enavate's current atmosphere is one of team building and opportunity. There is a lot of career growth to be had if you approach the job with the right mindset. The career growth often leads to promotions for existing team members. Benefits are pretty nice, especially the unlimited PTO and not having to worry about how many days you can take off each year. Employees are empowered to bring their ideas forward and guide their own role in some capacity. There is a lot of flexibility in the roles and how individuals can contribute to the overall company vision.

Cons

Enavate is a business at the end of the day. Sometimes that means difficult decisions must be made about layoffs and reductions. That is the unfortunate reality for most companies, not just Enavate. Company goals tend to be overly optimistic. It's great to aim for the stars. But sometimes it's hard to translate those goals into actionable items for the individual teams.
