Vantaggi
The CEO does seem genuinely invested in employee wellbeing and company culture, at least on the surface. There are still remnants of what was once probably a great workplace culture that leadership frequently references and promotes.
Svantaggi
Unfortunately, this company appears to be caught between two identities what it used to be and what it has become post-private equity involvement. There's been a noticeable shift in priorities, though leadership continues to promote the "people-first" culture of their earlier days. The power structure has become increasingly centralized, with two male executives now overseeing roughly half the company. The environment has become less tolerant of dissenting opinions or constructive feedback. This creates a culture of fear rather than open communication. Salaries tend to fall below market rate for the work required. Career advancement opportunities are extremely limited, as promotion essentially requires waiting for someone above you to leave the company. This creates stagnation for anyone looking to grow professionally.
