Great Place to work until Private Equity

Research analyst

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

1. Managers who bat for you 2. Great work life balance 3. Great, smart people you will be working with.

Cons

Recently purchased by a private equity. In my first few months at the office, I saw office amenities such as snacks and drinks slowly taken out, a new CEO hired and subsequently, the new CEO deciding to cut a significant part of the workforce. Turned out I was part of the significant cut only 5 months in the work.

Pros

It can be a place to start out in a career, if other doors are closed to you. There's a wide discrepancy in the quality of the groups. If you're lucky, you'll end up in a group with competent leadership.

Cons

Low pay, private equity owned now (replaced all execs who knew the business), no financial transparency, promote toxic managers, big layoff in May involved pressuring to keep quiet about the layoff and the severance package. According to the NLRB, employees and former employees have a right to discuss a layoff and any compensation, even if they sign a severance agreement.
