High acquisition = layoffs

Recommend
CEO approval
Business Outlook

Pros

Growing company. Competitive pay. Good benefits. Remote work. Good female representation in leadership.

Cons

Risk of layoffs. No loyalty for years of service. Decentralized - lots of remote work is isolating. Struggle with managing remote workers/keeping them included. Continue to rebuild failed products from acquisition companies. Not as much advancement opportunity as they claim - employees get pigeonholed. Office politics gets in the way of letting employees produce. Leadership very Caucasian. A little bit of Asian minorities in leadership, but very few PoC in upper management.

Pros

Great company mission and culture! Empower has embraced the remote/hybrid work model and that leads to a fantastic work/life balance. Teams are communicative and collaborative.

Cons

There is no such thing as a perfect job or a perfect company. There will always be job related stress and/or frustrations. Having said that, Empower has been the best place to work in my career. My management team listens to everyone on the team and proactively asks for feedback and/or new ideas.
