Not worth my mental/physical health -- Good pay and benefits, but culture has declined

Executive assistant

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Pay, benefits, equity, and work life balance

Cons

Everything's gone to sh*t since our original CEO left in 2020. And by everything I mean culture, morale, and desire to improve anything about them. There's been layoffs every 1-2 years (always the second week in May). Check out conversations on 'blind' mobile app before accepting offers, so you have the real scoop.

Talented, supportive team hindered by outdated CRM

Account executive - talent solutions

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

The people are highly talented. Extremely helpful. Will go out of their way to help and support you. Some of the best there are.

Cons

CRM is dated. Time-wasting for customers. Targets are based on bad data led by a terrible CRM. No internal progression but good for getting hired else where.
