Vantaggi
As someone who has experienced both the lows and highs over the years, I can confidently say the company is heading in a strong and promising direction. Leadership is becoming more focused and transparent, and there’s a clear sense of momentum behind our efforts to build something truly great.
One of the biggest shifts I’ve seen is how much more aligned and collaborative the teams have become. Silos are breaking down, communication is improving, and people are genuinely working together to solve problems and support each other. There’s a stronger sense of shared purpose than I’ve felt in the past, and it’s energizing.
Being part of an ESOP adds another layer of meaning to the work we do. We’re finally beginning to see the results of our shared investment—both financially and culturally—which is incredibly motivating. There’s a renewed sense of ownership and pride across the company, and while we’re still taking baby steps, those steps are clearly moving us in the right direction.
Svantaggi
No company is perfect, and this one is no exception. While I believe the leadership team is committed to building a stronger culture and future, that transformation is still in progress. There are pockets of the company—especially in certain regions—where the culture hasn’t fully caught up with the vision. A few individuals have resisted the shift toward more collaboration, accountability, and ownership, which has occasionally created friction or slowed progress.
That said, it’s encouraging to see leadership taking culture fit seriously. People who don’t align with the values are either choosing to leave or being managed out. While this creates some short-term tension and uncertainty, especially if you’re in the middle of those changes, I believe it’s a necessary step for long-term growth. It’s tough to see turnover or restructuring happen, but it shows that the company is serious about protecting the culture it’s working hard to build.
Change is never easy, and it can feel uncomfortable at times—but I’d rather be in a company that’s actively evolving than one that stays stagnant.
