Pros
Some of the best individual contributors I have ever worked with both in skill and culture.
Cons
-Some of the most ill-advised decision making in the C-Suite I have ever seen. -CEO is totally absent of any intuition of how to implement the vision he has which leads to underlings vying for control/power/individualized interpretations of how to implement growth/change. -Relias has very little organic growth, they are a passion project of a private equity firm. The parent firm has no process for how to enable success for Relias. So Relias must have vision and process on their own, and they do not. -In my experience from the last 5 years, Relias leadership has an idea, throws it against the wall by hiring staff according to implementation of an approach. Then when the idea fails from lack of direction/follow-through from CEO underlings, and then they fire all the staff they can to make up for missing profit projections. -There are market impacts that affect these decisions to augment/realign staff yes, but they are not the true prevailing reasons for reductions in force. -The real reason for constant chaos is blind people leading some very strong individual contributors in the dark. -I would avoid this company until a new CEO is selected and new liaison to the parent company.
