Pros

- Benefits and pay are in line with industry averages - Unlimited PTO* (the actual use of this will vary based on team) - Monthly option to travel to Boston for "together week" in office - Office is a former WeWork space with nice amenities - Sabbatical granted after 5 years, although good luck making that far in the current state - Remote

Cons

Every monthly company meeting has the CEO echoing how strong the cash position of the company is, as if it's some sort of assurance, yet as evident by the multitude of recent reviews here the status-quo is organizational mismanagement and layoffs. This has been a finance driven company since the internal promotion of CFO to CEO - which is paradoxical given the most recent rebranding of the sales org as a "growth" team, led by an over-indexed C suite that cannot provide a consistent GTM strategy. Within the sales (growth) org, poor hires at the manager and director levels have resulted in churn through nearly all hierarchies of positions, ultimately leaving legacy employees to pick up the slack until they are inevitably moved to another team or let go. - Career growth and internal opportunities are rare. Yearly/Quarterly performance review structures have gone through multiple iterations where the net results end up being mostly meaningless, which can be a pro or con based on your viewpoint - Lack of accountability among leaders. There is a persistent culture of corporate doublespeak where leadership is more concerned with keeping their jobs than getting things done. Hours wasted in meetings where the prevailing thought leaving one is, "now what?" - Internal data structure: different departments create their own, conflicting reports to meet their own goals, leading to confusion and mistrust. With no plans to replace prior analytical leaders this is likely to continue

Pros

I really love working at ezCater and having the opportunity to collaborate with so many different departments. One of the things I value most is the people. There is a strong sense of teamwork, support, and shared purpose across the company. I also appreciate the fast-paced culture and the chance to be part of an evolving company that is continuously growing and improving. The remote and hybrid model offers a great work/life blend, and Together Weeks provide meaningful in-person time to connect and strengthen relationships. Despite the recent changes, I trust that management and leadership are guiding us in the right direction and continuing to provide the resources and information we need to succeed. Overall, ezCater is a place where I feel proud to contribute, grow, and collaborate.

Pros

Remote work and the people. I have worked with some of the most talented, compassionate, and customer-focused coworkers of my career. They genuinely care about one another and about delivering an exceptional customer experience. The culture that once existed was something truly special.

Cons

The company has changed dramatically, and not for the better. There have been multiple rounds of layoffs, including a significant reduction in force recently and another round before Thanksgiving. Each time, the remaining employees have been expected to absorb more work with fewer resources. Burnout is widespread, morale is low, and many employees are actively looking for opportunities elsewhere. Leadership often feels disconnected from the day-to-day reality of the people doing the work. Decisions seem to prioritize short-term cost savings over employees, culture, and long-term success. Benefits have also moved in the wrong direction, including substantial reductions to PTO and sick leave, while expectations continue to increase. The saddest part is watching the incredible culture that made ezCater stand out slowly disappear. The company used to value work-life balance, employee well-being, and trust. Today, many employees feel overworked, undervalued, and uncertain about the future. I joined ezCater believing it was one of those rare companies that truly lived its values. Looking back, that promise feels like it has faded. The people are still amazing—they’re the reason many of us stay—but leadership has made it increasingly difficult to see a long-term future here.
