Pros

-Comp -Benefits -WFH -My mgr was great

Cons

-Like any big software company there are cliques within each business unit. Everyone gets along but if you are not in the "in crowd" it can be hard to move up/to different roles. - For me there was not career support to help you move to new roles or mgmt - Lots of misleading messaging from the top, probably due to KKR's ownership. They didn't care about customers or employees just the numbers.

Pros

Stable, friendly, modern tech, great managers, work life balance.

Cons

Most employees are older (might be a con for younger people). Could be more of a “fun company” from my POV.
