Pros

The pay was good for a small company

Cons

Company continually loss making since inception The company was very small and had very few resources for what was needed. The management were convinced they were the next google ! and clearly they were not. The service was un-reliable and had lots of missing features. The mobility features were totally unreliable for businesses. Not many customers or big household names Customers Tied in to Multi year contracts or they would have left if they could Sold as a cost saving service but seemed to always cost customers more !!! Never clear if any savings were ever achieved No long term plan or future, just sell up to some mug (8x8 inc)

Pros

Hopefully the board will see the changes they made are making the talent run for the door and stop the bleeding.

Cons

It has become a micromanaged environment with little concern for employees and that is what caused my disappointment.

Pros

The company is going through a lot of changes and growth. The CEO really cares about employees and is very transparent about giving positive feedback, informing employees of changes in management, etc. There are fun get-togethers a couple times a year. The pay is competitive and the environment is playful. There are bean bags and games to provide a mental break during the work day. Though 8x8 is small-medium now, I could easily see if approaching the prestige of bigger tech companies like Google or Facebook.

Cons

The culture, while evolving, still feels a little outdated and stuffy. There have been recent changes (relaxing the dress code, adding more perks, catered lunches) that seek to emulate bigger names in the tech industry, but it is just taking some time for the company and everyone in it to catch up. The new-ish CEO was definitely a good move though. Training is thorough and growing rapidly to be comprehensive. Management is transparent with employees.
