Dear Anonymous Employee, Thank you for your feedback. I understand that communication between teams can be an issue within most organizations. At Focus we are constantly trying to improve our communication between teams. Other than implementing technology such as Jira and ZenDesk which document communication between staff and clients, we also hold weekly calls between department leads to discuss what other teams are facing. If you ever want to bring your ideas to the table, I am always happy to have a chat in confidence. Sincerely, Steven Harnois Director of Operations

Pros

I loved working for focus. Everybody is super nice and it was a great experience. They have a very relaxed atmosphere, they are not strict on dress code and they do sincerely want to make it a fun environment for employees with the outings that they provide. i.e Thai Lunch, Rays Game, AWESOME Christmas party! Steven H is wonderful and Amber A is incredibly sweet and very helpful. I think if you put yourself out there and ask for more help, you will receive it. It does have its common work environment issues that you will find in typically any work environment.The higher ups know this product very well, so when you come into this job, whether you used focus or not it may be a bigger struggle for some people (as for me).

Cons

No bagels in the kitchen on a daily basis.
