Pros
I was fortunate to learn a lot from my immediate team, who were talented, collaborative, and supportive. Unfortunately, this was a reflection of the people I worked with, not the company itself.
Kontras
The culture at Cradlepoint was toxic and dishonest. I was impacted by a restructure and my role and the rest of the admins on my teams roles were eliminated claiming they would outsource. Not long after that, they started hiring again for the same types of positions, but only for candidates within a certain radius of the corporate office. It was clear their intention all along was to cut remote employees under the guise of “restructuring.” The way it was handled was shady, misleading, and showed a complete lack of loyalty to employees. To make matters worse, the VP of Enterprise Applications who delivered the layoff news was cold and completely unsympathetic. I understand it’s not an easy conversation to have, but a little empathy would have gone a long way. Their actions and tone said everything about how little they value people.
