Pros

The people here are genuinely friendly and supportive, which creates a welcoming and collaborative atmosphere. The work environment is relatively stress-free, with manageable expectations and minimal pressure on meeting deadlines. While we occasionally face escalations on production issues that can be a bit stressful, the team’s supportive nature helps in navigating these challenges effectively.

Cons

It used to be great working in a relaxed and collaborative environment where hierarchy wasn't strongly felt. However, since becoming a public company, multiple layers of hierarchy have been introduced. There have already been two rounds of layoffs, and now the company has implemented a strict return-to-office policy with harsh penalties and no grace period. Many employees suspect this is essentially a third round of layoffs in disguise. Additionally, the enforcement of centralized policies, despite the vastly different conditions in each office, has led to significant unfairness and frustration among the staff.

Pros

Very flexible with scheduling. Nice bonus job that you can do after work. Not too difficult and if you’re already watching the game you might as well be getting paid for it. Supervisors and management are great and schedule very well.

Cons

Hard to get a lot of hours after the month of November. Guaranteed to work at least part of a Saturday almost every week.

Pros

There are some very smart, very strong team members. However, those individuals are leaving in droves.

Cons

The executive leadership team, especially Carsten have lost their way. Increasing demands on staff, while cutting team staffing across all functions, forcing 5 days in office without thinking through a plan and how it will effect families, and lack of raises the last few years has created a very stressed and overworked culture. This company has fully shifted into an "appease the shareholders" phase of cost cutting, do more with less phase which is having a large effect on the quality of talent. There is a constant shift of senior leadership with changing priorities when the actual fix to most problems are to just add low level staff to do work. This place is overrun with Sr leaders demanding KPI/KRI updates, sitting in meetings, and not much time spent doing actual work.
