Pros
Work from home and thats about it
Cons
Don’t be fooled by the random 5 star reviews by the corporate HR drones and executives. It’s a bust for Blackstone and time to cut and run. Lee Perkins is playing CEO like it’s a game of Monopoly, but he’s out of Get Out of Jail Free cards. He won’t make it past October. Instead of real leadership, we get empty slogans — apparently, if you chant “Govtech Champions!” and “GO FAST!” enough times, revenue will magically appear. Spoiler: it won’t. Speaking of revenue, it’s well below expectations. Competitors can smell blood in the water, and this ship is taking on water fast. The layoffs? Sorry, “redundancies”? Just a fancy way of saying cost-cutting while pretending to invest in growth. New roles? Promised. Delivered? Not so much. There’s still one last round of cuts coming for engineering that should be the final nail in the coffin. Ironically, the new structure could work — if it weren’t executed with the grace of a drunken Jenga player. As for culture, well, that’s been on life support for a while. Need proof? Just check the eNPS scores (if they even dare show them). Benefits have been vanishing faster than a bad magician’s act: Pluralsight and learning budgets? Gone. Christmas gift cards? Gone. Christmas party? Nope. Half-day leave on Christmas Eve? Pretend it never happened. Civica will survive, but let’s be real — things are spiraling, and a lot of people are going to get burned before this crash landing is over. Personally, I’m already looking for the exits, and I’d recommend others do the same.
