      Great Place to Work - Long Term or Stepping Stone

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Management cares about the employees. The new owner, Dr. Patrick , is investing in the company. There are a lot of well paid people there. Nice office. For me, limited supervision. Pretty much left to do my job(s). There is no shortage of things to do.

      Cons

      There will always be issues at any organization.

      How I stopped worrying and learned to love the chaos

      Pros

      - you’re surrounded by passionate people who are experts in their fields. - relatedly, it’s accessible to pick up new skills from coworkers. - passionate people are also typically problem solvers; the company as a whole benefits thanks to the passion workers themselves put into their work, workplace, coworkers, and the system itself. The pro is both the company benefiting and the camaraderie.

      Cons

      - leadership is out of touch and suffers from an obsession with shiny objects. Follow-through is accidental or because someone further down fought eloquently enough for it. - multiple redundant teams often doing redundant work can be frustrating, especially when shared knowledge is so useful. - a functioning product seems to have been the end goal instead of the bare minimum.

      We’re glad to hear you appreciated the terms of employment. Our HR department has added headcount to provide better and more consistent support to our employees. We are also launching a quarterly check-in process which we hope will both increase and improve 1-1 communication between employees and managers.
