Pros

Most of the people at Employ are very nice and easy to work with. They are smart, they work hard, and have a lot of amazing ideas.

Cons

You feel like a hamster running on a hamster wheel here. There's no strategy, no research, no planning, and no retrospective. Just go, and go fast. Once that project is done, move on to the next thing. Pay is below industry standards. No equity, no 401k match, bonuses are hit or miss. The work we do is no longer meaningful. You lose your sense of purpose and value here. The culture is non-existent here. You have to be above average. Work very hard. Receive average pay and get little to no recognition. Actually, that's the culture here. If you perform poorly, you're "laid off" or let go. Performance supposedly matters but structured performance management and professional development plans are non-existent. Everything is all over the place. No standard processes. Departments don't know how to work together. Teams within departments don't know how to work together. Just stay away from this company unless you want to work for a place that will suck the life and joy out of you.

Pros

It is hard to come up with any. It's bleak.

Cons

The company has changed significantly, and working here has become increasingly difficult. After major layoffs and continued attrition, many remaining employees are carrying expanded workloads with less support, fewer experienced teammates, and unclear ownership across departments. Role expectations, compensation, and commission structures have also shifted in ways that have reduced earning potential. Commission changes for the year were not rolled out until the end of May, nearly five months into the year, which reflects a broader issue with planning, transparency, and accountability. Leadership often feels disconnected from both employees and customers. There does not seem to be a meaningful process for frontline feedback, and cross-functional work is frequently slowed by silos, unclear priorities, and top-down asks that do not reflect the realities of the work.
