Pros

Friday half days before the long weekends in the summer.

Cons

The multiple acquisitions made by Cision have left a mess where positions have become redundant. It seems as though some teams are regarded as useless in their eyes. Cision is a global company and claims to have values ​​of unity and sharing; but in reality, they do not care about the welfare of their employees and their roles. They do not take into consideration the talents they have. I think Cision is the worst company I have worked for. If you are passionate about your work and want to dedicate yourself to a worthwhile venture, look elsewhere, this company will put you in a state of depression. For all other companies, pray that Cision never buys you out.

Pros

Decent work life balance, some good teammates who care about each other and the company makes payroll on time (for most people)

Cons

The executives can’t stand each other and can’t make decisions, so the rest of us were left running in circles. Revenue has declined every year and it keeps getting worse. We had at least 4 layoffs a year and they never communicate them — one day your coworkers just don’t show up. Everyone is constantly looking over their shoulder. The best people have already left because they see the writing on the wall. The products aren’t good and aren’t getting better. They keep talking about Nexus but no one knows what it means or who even wants it. Numbers change depending on who’s presenting them and why. There’s no consistent story on targets internally, which makes it impossible to plan or prioritize anything. PE ownership and puppets in the C Suite meant that every decision gets filtered through “what does this look like for the exit” rather than what’s actually good for the business or the people in it. Compensation hasn’t kept up, especially after layoffs when your workload doubles and nothing changes in your paycheck. No real investment in development either. Bottom line: you’re a headcount, not a person. And they manage by spreadsheet not logic.
