Vantaggi
Lessen has a genuinely talented and supportive group of employees who care deeply about their work and each other. Collaboration among peers is strong, and despite constant change, many individuals go above and beyond to deliver results. The company’s mission and customer-facing vision hold real potential, and working there offers opportunities to develop resilience, adaptability, and a firsthand understanding of how to navigate organizational challenges.
Svantaggi
Unfortunately, the strengths are consistently undermined by weak executive leadership and a lack of clear strategic direction. Layoffs occurred nearly every week for over two years without transparency or apparent rationale, creating an atmosphere of fear and low morale. The CEO is largely absent and disconnected from employees, which has only deepened uncertainty and frustration across teams. Leadership often relies on asking broad questions rather than providing actionable guidance or a cohesive vision for the company’s future. Additionally, the technology stack and user experience remain outdated, costing the business credibility and major deals in an increasingly competitive market. Efforts to manage significant debt appear to take priority over long-term innovation or employee stability, leaving the organization in a constant state of reaction rather than progress.
