Pros

I have been on the team for the last year since the early stages of us becoming the new brand Symphony Talent and thoroughly enjoying the experience. We are challenging status quo and making changes continuously from the lessons we are learning and this really is helping me grow as an individual. We also have done a good job bringing cultures and strong individuals from multiple businesses and working towards and single unified values and vision. Everyone is approachable and fun to work with.

Cons

It is a fast paced environment and if you are open to continuos improvement and pushing yourselves, ST may not be a good fit Since we had to merge teams together unfortunately I have seen people loose their jobs in the process. More than 20% of the team I work with are added in the last 1 year. It is really exciting to work with people coming in with multitude of experience and helping challenge the status quo, but hard to see people leave. Hopefully we are done with the changes and continue to build the future.

Pros

I still have a job unlike many others here. Remote work is the only way to get me through some of the stresses here.

Cons

Leadership and the board do not take any accountability for the downfall of the company. After those most recent rounds of layoffs no one seems to know what the plan is. The endless employee surveys have resulted in very little change. I have never seen a company so disconnected from their employees and their self created problems. The current atmosphere here is who will be next to be laid off and when. Many here also feel our products still need a lot of attention and we have been slow to innovate our offerings.
