Pros

By far the best people (employees, not management) you will ever work with. And, great views from the office windows, even though it makes no sense to rent out that floor given the budget. But hey, what do I know?

Cons

Every day I kept telling myself it couldn’t get worse, and I was genuinely surprised that it always did. In general, there is a severe lack of work-life balance, each employee has extremely unattainable goals set on them, and the micromanagement is palpable. I was even “advised” not to take too long of a vacation. Honestly, there is just a general lack of heart in the company. I never felt like anyone truly cared to help me achieve my goals. I was promised a promotion, my boss discussed my wages with one of my peers.. I even reached out to three executives for help and nothing came if it. I’ve never felt less supported in my career than I did when I worked here. This place broke my spirit. If you do decide to work here - you can speak up about what you need in order to do your job better, or give your ideas to management - but nothing will come of it. Honestly, they’ll probably talk down to you like you’re a child. The CEO is extremely condescending and has no problem with cussing at his employees. How can anyone forget that racist joke he told in the all-hands? And then, later, him laughing about the fact that someone mentioned it on Glassdoor? Tasteless. The worst part, in my opinion, is that not one single client is 100% happy with the product. Every client has a complaint or an existing issue, and they can’t get ahold of support, because the dept is severely understaffed. I spent most of my time apologizing to the client on behalf of our product. Seriously, that became my whole job. Do you really want that as your job? There is a reason this place has a turnover rate of 60%. I’ve seen tenured, knowledgeable employees get fired because management would rather pay less for temps in their place. I’ve seen multiple mass layoffs. If you put your two weeks in, you might or might not be asked to leave immediately - just depends on the CEOs mood at the time (especially if you’re female). You’d be more likely to have the same coworkers for an extended period of time working at Walmart.

Pros

Snacks. And four word minimum.

Cons

Revolving door - I’ve seen management fire so many people. Bad Reputation - most of our customers are unhappy & leaving for competitors. Bad deals - most new clients cancel without making it through implementation. Outdated product - software I looks like it’s from 2004. (It is) Broken Operations - the company is a combination of 4 previous companies, and it feels like it. The tech stacks are broken, and no one truly owns it. Ask the same question to 5 different people, and you’ll get 5 very different answers. There are so many problems, but a very real one is overcharging & billing customers wrong amounts. Toxic Positivity - talk to any of the executives and they tell you “we’re #1 in the industry, we are the best, customers love us!” Have they not talked to anyone other than their favorites? So out of touch.
