Pros
Note - I am still employed here and due to my billing, I feel relatively stable. I am still trying to find something that long term is going to be a better fit for my mental health and overall career goals. Pros: - free Fridays. Really the only thing left that has me considering staying through the summer - There are some very nice people here who do want to see you do well - The in person trips were nice (no longer happening) - they used to send monthly gift baskets to billers (no longer happening) - can work any market you want to - most everyone that is hired has been a high biller at previous firms
Cons
Let me start off by saying even the recent 5 star reviews more or less say “yeah things have sucked, but that just happens sometimes, we’re a start up, etc”. That should be a huge warning flag to avoid this place if you’re a perspective job seeker and a high biller at your current firm. We’re recruiters. When we hear a candidate tell us that their company: - lost all health benefits for a month (we were gaslit into being told this was a accounting hiccup and was not a big deal as they’d reimburse the medical bills we were footing once our insurance was reinstated) - starts asking employees to consider taking pay cuts if they aren’t clearing their draw - 2-3 months after losing benefits, it turns out there are a few more financial troubles and they let go of 150-200 employees - tried pressuring employees with the option to resign rather than be let go (which prevents you from collecting unemployment) - cease all in person events, in-office weekly events / activities - are unable to pay manager override bonuses - Yet are still posting and boasting about the company on LinkedIn as being a top place to work, and making “jokes” about being open to work on April Fools day just a month or so after cutting a large chunk of staff? We’d tell that candidate they need to get out of their job ASAP. The company culture was supposedly built on kindness, but the way they cut some of my peers with no PIPs, no warnings, and then the matter in which executive leadership addressed it (or lack thereof until there were complaints that no one knew what was happening), is anything but the opposite. It’s sad, because a few years ago this company was truly amazing to work for. However when you hire with no plan, begin offering insane draws of 150k-200k to employees having to rebuild a book of business, and spend money recklessly, this is the result we get.
