Pluspunten
There were a handful of genuinely great people within the organization who made the experience better day to day. A few team members and leaders truly cared, put in effort, and created a positive and collaborative environment despite some of the larger organizational challenges. The relationships and connections built with those individuals were one of the most enjoyable parts of working there.
Minpunten
Leadership and culture are the biggest challenges here. Too many toxic personalities are placed into management roles without the experience or people skills needed to actually lead teams effectively. If concerns are raised to upper leadership or HR, it can quickly feel like you’ve put a target on your back instead of being heard or supported.
There’s also a disconnect between product vision and operational reality. Leadership tends to chase “rainbows and unicorns” ideas or build features around the demands of a single customer, while long-term legacy customers are often overlooked. Existing clients are left in the dark or forced to jump through unnecessary hoops just to access newer functionality and improvements.
The company has potential, but there needs to be more accountability in leadership, better employee support, and a stronger balance between innovation and taking care of the customers who helped build the business in the first place.
