Pros

Honestly, things don’t look great here right now. There’s a strong push to cut costs, and internally it feels like major workforce reductions could be on the table. Growth has slowed down significantly, and the overall direction feels uncertain. Don’t walk in expecting hikes those don’t seem to be happening anytime soon. And work-life balance? You’ll need to fight for it. Weekends can easily turn into workdays if you’re not careful. If you’re currently here, it might be smart to start saving and planning ahead, because clarity around things like job security and even severance isn’t exactly reassuring. Definitely go in with your eyes open.

Cons

Massive workforce cuts seem to be on the horizon, feels like up to half the team 50% could be impacted. Support and client facing roles? Already looking extremely vulnerable. At the same time, product development spending is going up, but there’s little clarity on where the money is actually going or what the long-term plan is. Overall direction feels all over the place, and the uncertainty is hard to ignore. If you’re here… it might be time to start planning your next move.

Pros

Phenom offers exceptional flexibility with unlimited PTO and minimal micromanagement. The benefits are top-tier, and the free food in the office is a great perk. Overall, it’s a very employee-friendly environment that values autonomy.

Cons

There is a significant lack of direction within the CV team, with constantly shifting priorities and inconsistent delivery cycles. Methods and tools change frequently, and data collection is manual and inconsistent, frustrating both clients and employees. Furthermore, there is a lack of knowledge sharing between teams, which exacerbates inefficiencies. Leadership also lacks a clear vision for the department’s future, and there is no intuitive framework to streamline processes or deliver value more efficiently, creating ongoing friction for the team.
