Pros

The only positive thing that I can think of is that all your coworkers are in the same miserable, high-stress boat that you're in and it brings some camaraderie. The insurance benefits are nice, too, though.

Cons

Where to even begin? Despicable, awful, terrible, horrendous, abhorrent, etc - they are all too nice a word to describe the atmosphere here. The public shaming mentioned in other reviews is 100 % accurate. Even after having been gone for almost two years, I still have nightmares about this place. If my manager wants to talk to me at my current job, it causes a panic attack because of how horrible Gensuite is. "Stressful" does not even begin to explain the work environment at Gensuite. Please do not be fooled by positive reviews and any "fun" pictures posted here - it's all to lure you in, so upper management can suck out your soul and throw you back on the streets. There is no work-life balance - I literally lost my relationship because of this place. You are buried in project after project after project. Your days consist of keeping your eyes down on your work so you don't catch the attention of the CEO or his precious pets - the only way you can actually survive for an extended time at Gensuite is to do ok work and not get noticed. Unpaid overtime is not only expected, it's demanded of you. A direct quote from the CEO is that "everyone should be putting in at least 50 hours a week." Promotions are something of a joke. Rarely are they based on merit, more often they're based around whether or not the higher-ups like you enough to pile more work on you. And if you are one of the good employees, and there are many still there, it probably won't matter if the wrong person doesn't like you. If you do a single thing wrong - no matter how tiny - you will be put on blast in front of the entire company, and maybe even some customers. But, again, that's only if you're not one of the chosen few. If you're prized by the CEO, someone else will be put on blast for your mistake, simply for the act of coming across and reporting it. I could go on all day about the CONS of this place - and I meant that both in the "reason to not work here" and the "scam" version of the word con.

Pros

Technology/product was ok, able to do customizations

Cons

Toxic work culture, period. Leadership demanded so much and were condescending that affected employee morale. There were only a couple managers that were great to work with. It was very micromanaging that you had to use a certain font style and color for your emails. They change the company name every few years and focus on non-important items. It’s sad because the company could be good with different leadership. Work life balance is also a struggle. Your mental health can take a beating.
