Svantaggi

I was with Thesis for 2.5 years so I had been there for long enough to get a good read of the company. During that time, I lost track of the number of lay-offs; it must have been around 3 or 4. All staff/town hall meetings were grueling. The CEO would openly yell and chastise the employees as if we were children. So many times it was 'If you don't want to be here, then leave,' which I guess is true, which is why so many people ended up leaving without having jobs lined up, but there were others who couldn't be so fortunate. The C-Level was a clicky group that was very out of touch with the actual happenings of the company. Some of them seem qualified, but the highest-ranking ones had been with the company from day 1, so they just moved to executive positions without having executive experience. It was very evident in how they acted and the few decisions they shared with us, I hope that beautiful building can get to 50% capacity someday. The real victims were the remote employees. They were remote for years, and then one day (After many layoffs and millions invested into a building in NW Portland), they were told to relocate or resign (I imagine this was done this way so they would not have to pay unemployment). They were given a week or 2 to come to a decision and were given a small stipend for the move. A person I didn't know personally agreed to relocate, and they were based on the East Coast. A week before they were set to relocate, they were laid off. Now they have a one-way ticket to Portland and no employer. Your performance does not impact how you are treated. I saw 2 different employees with fine reviews and had really good client relations. Then one day they were gone, just like that. I believe there was some friction with them and their Thesis supervisor so they got the boot. The work and performance were not the issue; it was a relationship/personality issue.

Vantaggi

Thesis has been an incredible place for me to grow professionally. I've had the opportunity to learn, take on meaningful work, and be supported by some of the most talented and thoughtful people I've worked with. What stands out most to me, though, is the personal care and humanity I experienced during a very difficult period in my life. Both my manager and the CEO went far beyond what I would ever expect from an employer, offering compassion, flexibility, and support that allowed me to take care of myself and my family when I needed it most. I will always be deeply grateful for that.

Svantaggi

Like any organization, there’s always room for growth and improvement. But I’m 100% committed because I believe in the leadership, the people, and the direction we’re heading. There’s a real sense of care and purpose here, and I’m proud to be part of it.

Vantaggi

The people doing the day-to-day work are the company’s greatest strength and the primary reason many employees continue showing up each day. Teams are filled with talented, hardworking individuals who consistently deliver despite significant organizational challenges.

Svantaggi

Leadership feels increasingly disconnected from the realities of delivery and employee experience, with an overwhelming focus on revenue and margins above all else. At the same time, leadership frequently overcommits to client demands and approves work at unsustainable or negative margins, only to later criticize teams for failing to meet financial targets created by those decisions. Employees are often treated more like interchangeable resources than long-term contributors, resulting in exceptionally high turnover and a constant revolving door of talent. Any meaningful, innovative, or strategically important work is routinely handed to external contractors rather than internal teams. These efforts are often executed in isolation, with little intentional knowledge sharing or investment in growing the capabilities of permanent employees. This creates frustration, limits career growth, and reinforces the perception that internal staff are not trusted with the company’s most important opportunities.
