Gone downhill since new CEO hired

Pros

Compensation and benefits are good.

Cons

1% raise for everybody in 2025, what a slap in the face. Ceo hires edf employees, where he used to work, whether they are qualified or not. Nearly everybody at Avantus has either left or been laid off. No one seems to be happy there. The culture has degraded substantially since the new CEO was hired. The decisions are horrible and the company doesnt want to spend any money to suppliers, always deferring. New board of directors micromanaging everything. Most of the executive team is clueless and very aggressive in how they deal with the employees. They don't care about workload or mental health. There is no work life balance. They will email and text over the weekends and into the late evenings expecting responses.

Freedom and support that’s hard to match!

Pros

I feel very supported to pursue my ideas and the freedom to do my job in the way I see fit. This includes working from wherever I think is best (Office vs remote), attending conferences/training of my choosing that are beneficial, and traveling for business meetings I deem important, without burdensome approval processes. The company has established a team of experienced and intelligent people that are willing to collaborate and share ideas. Benefits are solid as is the pay. If you prove yourself as a valuable employee, they make sure to take care of you! I can accomplish more here than I have in previous jobs since I don’t worry about political backstabbing that runs rampant at larger companies.

Cons

This is a place for people with an entrepreneurial spirit which means sometimes you need to work into the evening when there are important deadlines coming up but typically people don’t care as much about where you do your job as long as you produce. They balance that out with freedom to take time off whenever you decide you need a refresher or take care of important appointments in your personal life at any hour necessary. Your job security is only as strong as your performance/value so people that don’t fit the collaborative culture or the work ethic have been shown the door in the past, though on the positive side this creates an environment where you’re surrounded with high achieving people rather than people just counting the hours in the office.
