Pros

Direct team and manager are amazing and supportive. The remote first and unlimited PTO are a high selling point.

Cons

Leadership is reactive, unprofessional and have little insight on how to manage a growing company. They resort to pointing fingers instead of empowering their employees. When the going gets tough several senior staff including CEO broadcast emails with little thought on the damage. Cherry on top, cancelled company conference with 1 month notice 10 days prior to Christmas where employees are forced to eat the cost of cancellations fees, flights and accommodations because they simply cannot budget correctly. It’s more than disappointing.

Pros

The company has been through a lot, and some of the older feedback seems tied to past chapters of the business. Right now, there is a clear push to move forward, especially in sales. The focus is on outbound, clearer territories, stronger partnerships, and getting the Pebl brand into the market after the rebrand. The EOR space is very competitive, but it is also a strong market to be in. Pebl has a good product, a strong reputation in the category, and a real opportunity to keep growing. The company is also putting meaningful energy behind technology and AI, which matters in an industry where a lot of providers can start to sound the same. This is a good environment for people who are self-starters. If you like having everything fully mapped out for you, it may be frustrating. But if you are comfortable with some ambiguity and want to have a hand in shaping how things get done, there is a lot of room to make an impact.

Cons

Some processes are still being figured out, and priorities can shift. That can make things feel messy at times. There can also be too many opinions in the room, which occasionally creates a lack of focus. The company has good ideas, but not every idea needs to become a priority. This is also not a clock-in, clock-out environment. The pace is fast, expectations are high, and people need to be comfortable with change. That is not a negative for everyone, but it is worth knowing before joining.

Pros

- Teams are incredibly dedicated, collaborative, and always willing to support one another through challenging transitions. - Strong focus on actively listening to and advocating for customers' needs at the team level.

Cons

- Executive leadership frequently dismisses employee concerns during all-hands calls and relies on empty promises to manage morale. - The company has gone through multiple rounds of layoffs with zero internal communication or accountability. Employees often only discover colleagues have been let go when they suddenly disappear from communication channels. - Following major organizational shifts, leadership failed to re-align priorities. This created an environment devoid of unified goals, leading to silos and internal division. - Despite the chaotic environment, the frontline employees work incredibly hard but receive little to no recognition or support from upper management.
