Pros

Working from home, some supportive colleagues

Cons

Leadership do not care about the people, they care about driving up the value of the business so that they can sell it and make their promised bonuses. Since being purchased by private equity, the people being hired are hired for the sole purpose of increasing efficiency and while that alone is not a bad thing it is done at the cost of the people who have spent years dedicating their lives to a company they think stood for something. CEO is a puppet for the owners. General managers are equally just doing as they’re told by the CEO. People are dropped constantly if they disagree with anything done/ said by management.

Pros

1) Smaller company feel with more opportunities to advance your career faster than a large company. 2) Generally positive changes from leadership the last 3 years. 3) Growth outlook for all sites is very good. Current ownership is focused on growing the business.

Cons

There has been a lot of change over the years - acquisitions and leadership changes. The company will be sold again soon. However, Advent doesn't like to sell to sharks who will steal the technology and let go of the people. Advent has a reputation to uphold in that regard. A lot of the negative reviews came from sudden culture changes a few years ago. Many benefits and policies are now in line with industry standards, for better or worse.

Pros

The flexibility of being able to take care of my family and still being able to do my job is very helpful. The managers trust that I will get my work done and let me flex my time. Having every other Friday off is great too as it allows me to get my appointments in without having to use PTO.

Cons

Very fast paced and sometimes decisions from management are made before getting input from their employees.
