Pros

The company culture is fantastic and the people you work with are amazing. They're up-leveling every department and are continuing to push the bounds of the HR software space. I've been incredibly impressed.

Cons

It's a bigger company that moves a little slower. Could be a con for some.

Micro Managing to the Extreme

Pros

The benefits are great and the only reason I stay.

Cons

First off, the support role is the hardest job I have ever worked. I grind for 7+ hours a day just to meet expectations. The management team (well a few managers) are so extreme when it comes to micromanaging that I am scared to go to the restroom. If they notice I have been on a break for more than 5 minutes I gets a slack asking what I am doing, I don’t feel trusted and that is so frustrating given that I have never given them a reason not to trust me and assume the best. If you are applying and get stuck with KM or KS I am so sorry! Also, if you plan on “growing” into a different role you are going to need to be exceeding expectations (125-150%).
