Pros

The people there were nice. Family oriented people that was happy to work at tech company near home. Which is why they turn a blind eye to what Im writing in my cons.

Cons

If your at the HQ in Pleasanton, your essentially forced to buy the food from the company to help their bottom line with no opt out choice! They'll blow smoke up you as, telling you it's a taxable perk that all companies do, like Facebook and Google. (BS because I've work at both those companies, they don't nickel and dime employees. They write off as business expenses as it should be. Google did this with past xmas gifts but I had the option not to accept the gift at retail cost added to my w2. ) 5200$ / 260 work days = 20$ per meal veeva sold you, for a meal you did or did not have. They let so many good employees \ worker go due to be cheap af and not paying people their worth\market rate. My promotion bump was 7.8% after being there 1yr. I laughed and left a mo later without another gig lined up. WorkDay is generally where their ex employees go since it's down the road and managements treatment of employees and benefits are much better. CEO gives perception he cares but if you've ever had to deal with him, like us in IT did during company calls (often) dude acts like a dic head.

Pros

People in your class are mostly great

Cons

Technically I am a Senior Associate. Day before promotions, got rid of promotion to Supervisor for everyone. Demoted certain people in the Analytics department. Imagine working for a promotion for 2 years and getting great feedback by your manager and everyone in your class is told never mind. They likely did it due to the high turnover - many people would leave post-promotion for better opportunities. Regardless, cruel and unprofessional Poor management/leadership, large blame culture, poor pay w/ minimal raises, high turnover, minimal diversity. I know some women being paid less than their male counterparts. I know the Analytics Services Associate job posting seems interesting, but everyone I know who’s here is looking to leave because it is so toxic and defeating, even when you’re doing “great”. I would never grow my career here, specifically in Crossix.
