Pros

Good work life balance, nice facilities, on site gym, great location

Cons

everything else. This has become a hollowed out and directionless company. There is constant employee turnover, morale is at an all time low, senior leaders are leaving left right and center and management has no clue, priorities change every few months, old strategy gets repackaged and re-launched as something brand new, multiple teams within the company are doing the same and redundant work, projects will be abandoned in the middle of the road. Company just announced a 3% layoff, basically it is very top heavy, whole bunch of program managers, directors, corporate folks, hundreds of marketing folks all hawking a product that we are unable to successfully deliver. Compensation is also not great. There is a big disparity between the salaries of employees doing the same work. The company has no culture, constant turnover has basically reduced my team into a handful of folks, most people are too stressed to have a friendly conversation. Seriously, not a great place, I have spoken to a couple of new hires who are regretting joining the company.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We’re committed to fostering an inclusive, transparent and collaborative workplace for all employees so your experience is certainly not something we want. Our company transformation and strategy have been transparently shared with our employees as we navigate our aspiration to be the location technology platform of choice. This means making the tough decisions to ensure current positions and org design match where we need to focus. Making team headcount decisions that impact our employees are always the hardest. As you may know, the work with developing a new career architecture allows us to ensure parity for work and pay. We now have the ability to compare salaries with similar work and have an extensive gender pay equity analysis underway. Your candid feedback exemplifies our core values including Be True and Be Bold and we thank you for that while also encouraging you to reach out to leadership and your HR partners to further discuss how we can continue this dialogue to net a constructive path forward for all our employees.

Pros

Leadership is very understanding and are clear SME’s that know what their doing. There’s a learning curve that’s complex, but compensation and experience is worth the training.

Cons

Internal operations could be better, but that’s expected with any growing company.
