Hi there, this is Holly Russell, SVP – Client Services. Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback and for your incredible eight-year commitment to Cielo. I'm delighted to hear your positive experiences with our benefits, professional development opportunities, and our commitment to diversity – these are fundamental aspects of our culture that we continuously strive to strengthen. I understand your concerns regarding job security, bonus structure, and internal mobility. While we've made recent changes to our bonus structure to create a more consistent approach across the organization, I recognize these changes can be challenging. Regarding internal movement, I encourage you to connect with your leader to create an Individual Development Plan (IDP) that can help identify and prepare you for future opportunities within Cielo. Your advice about following through on recommendations is well-received. We are committed to not just hearing feedback, but acting on it to create meaningful improvements for our people. I welcome the opportunity to discuss your specific situation and ideas for improvement. Please feel free to reach out to me directly at Holly.Russell@cielotalent.com.

Fear of losing my job every day

Recommend

Business Outlook

Pros

Unlimited PTO Remote work Work/Life balance

Cons

Layoffs every year and sometimes mutiple times a year (sometimes announced and sometimes quietly but teams talk). Have seen way too many good colleagues get let go to get back filled in a low cost geo that turn out to not work out. Every single day I dread getting a meeting invite from my manager or P&C that I'm being let go. Talking with others on my team and on other client teams, we all feel that way. No bonuses anymore. I dont think I've ever had more than 50% of my bonus in all my time here. Merit raises are low 1-3%.

Hi, this is Cherice Schmidt – EVP, Client Services. Thank you for your candid feedback and for your five years of dedication to Cielo. I appreciate you highlighting the positive aspects of our workplace flexibility, including unlimited PTO and remote work options. However, I am deeply concerned about the anxiety and uncertainty you're experiencing regarding job security and compensation. I want to acknowledge the impact that organizational changes have had on you and your colleagues. While we must make difficult decisions to remain competitive in our evolving market, we understand these changes affect real people and their families. Your feedback about compensation, particularly regarding bonuses and merit increases, is heard and valued. We regularly review our total rewards structure to ensure competitiveness, and your specific concerns about healthcare costs and merit increases will be carefully considered in our ongoing evaluations. The perception that there's inequity between leadership and staff compensation is concerning, and I appreciate you bringing this to our attention. We strive for transparency in our decision-making processes, and your feedback helps us identify areas where we need to improve both our communication and our practices. I would welcome the opportunity to discuss your specific situation and concerns in more detail. Please reach out to me directly at Cherice.Schmidt@cielotalent.com.
