Decent pay Unlimited PTO Some great co-workers

Minpunten

We're currently in the midst of our third layoff within a year Haven't seen bonuses in well over a year Haven't seen raises is well over a year Back when this company was Trendline, it was incredible. The moment Liz (the current CEO) took the reigns, everything began its decline.. This is not the company I used to work for. It's truly sad to see.

Thank you for the feedback. We genuinely appreciate the open and honest dialogue. We understand and agree that our sales engine has needed both investment and prioritization. We have taken steps to do just that. We recently hired three new sales staff and are deepening our efforts in building an outbound strategy to strengthen our pipeline. We are starting to see huge inroads, but this kind of effort takes time and is especially challenging, given the economic downturn and its impact on our clients. The current economic challenges did lead us to another gut-wrenching decision to streamline resources further as we weather the storm. However, we believe we are making all the right moves necessary to do the hard reset you are referring to while continuing to invest in deepening our technical capabilities that will enable our teams to serve our clients with a higher level of excellence. If you have additional questions or concerns, we encourage you to speak to any senior executive or join us at the next AMA with Liz.

Pluspunten

Lots of room to create your own structure and process. Respectful that employees are people. The organization actually cares about DEI, operationally, not just as lip service. Tons of opportunity for learning. Thoughtful CEO, who communicates clearly.

Minpunten

It is a difficult industry space for an org to enter, and I don't know anyone who does full service consultancy + agency particularly well. If you're gritty and you like creating your own structure, this can also be a pro.

Pluspunten

You will be a fool to seek any pros here. It's not a decent workplace for people who want clear boundaries and hope to enjoy some work-life balance. These awful people will never respect the lines you draw.

Minpunten

The work expectations were ridiculously high. Employees were expected to be available 24/7, work on multiple projects, and meet client expectations while balancing poorly assigned deadlines. It was a struggle to show up every day when you knew they expected too much from you. It was exhausting to try to reason with the arrogant leadership that did nothing but pile horrible expectations. They also didn't give me enough room to grow. My learning stopped, and I was doing boring work for months. There was no career growth, either. Overall, it was a horribly frustrating experience, and I escaped before I could be trapped here for long.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We're sorry to hear that you felt overwhelmed and unsupported during your time with us. Your feedback about workload expectations, work-life balance, and development opportunities is taken seriously. We recognize that unrealistic deadlines and unclear boundaries can lead to burnout, and this is not the environment we want to create. Our new leadership is working to actively address these issues. Again, thank you for the feedback.
