Pros

Interesting, funny, unique, and intelligent employees. I made some amazing friends here.

Cons

They can’t be bothered to make decisions to keep these interesting, funny, unique and intelligent employees. All management pretends everything is ok and nothing is ok. Employees are adults and should be treated thusly— not like little kids that can be lied to and manipulated through fear. Majority of management and leads are children, drunk off having power over others but without any training or responsibilities. Rules change often and are enforced when it’s convenient to upper management when trying to get rid of someone who refuses to drink the koolaid. I’ve witnessed MULTIPLE instances of discrimination— racism, ageism, sexism, and discrimination against people struggling with mental health disorders. Upper management and HR were unwilling or unable (due to lack of professionalism and/or training) to deal with these matters appropriately and with tact. These individuals had to leave because they felt unsafe and unprotected whilst their abusers got to stay on board. Although starting pay is higher than you might see elsewhere— it’s nowhere near enough for the amount of work you are expected to juggle while being micromanaged— down to the second. As much as they try to say otherwise— this is a call center environment through and through and no amount of free pizza and lies will change that fact. What was once a great company to work for is just as crappy as the rest.

Pros

Nice office with some nice people, but that number is shrinking at an alarming rate. Open office Smells nice with a BBQ joint located downstairs

Cons

Unclear direction that starts from the top and is repeated without any questioning leading to working harder not smarter. Poor leadership and bad communication leading to working harder not smarter. Questionable decisions for product lines leading to working harder not smarter. Boston vs. Fort Lauderdale rivalry with appeasement policy that leads to working harder not smarter. Nepotism and favoritism that allows for reorder of effort and priorities which leads to working harder not smarter. Hiring based on past affiliation not actual merit which leads to working harder not smarter. Hiring is based on what the VPs of Engineering ( there are more than you can shake a stick at) and CTO thinks the teams need not what the directors think their team needs which leads to working harder not smarter. Clandestine firing/disappearance of key employees which leads to working harder not smarter. HR claims benefits are best of breed in the industry leaving out what decade that was.

Pros

N/a n/a n/a n/a n/a

Cons

Constantly changing procedures, policies, and job expectations. Will make up something to get rid of you. You are not given enough notice for mandatory overtime and if you don't show up for it then you are penalized. When they change how they want something done they don't give an adequate amount of time to adjust and expect 100% right away.
