Pros

- Friendly and open spaced office - Room to grow in your career - Able to suggest ideas openly - Collaboration options

Cons

- Room for growth can be stunted if you do not have experience for an internal role and they do not necessarily help you to get the training to be able to progress - Need to be more transparent - Need to provide more opportunities for team building in and out of office

If you are interested in investigating a new opportunity within the Company, I always recommend scheduling time with someone who is in that role or with the manager of that team. These informal, informational interviews are an excellent way to understand the day to day responsibilities of a job function as well as provide a good overview of what type of background (education, experience, etc.) the typical person filling a specific job function has. In addition to our 8x8 Academy, which can provide excellent self paced or classroom based training in a variety of technical and non-technical areas, we also provide tuition reimbursement for continuous education as part of our employee benefits.

Pros

*Good health insurance *Company "mental health" days off *Work/life balance *LinkedIn learning

Cons

*You will have to chase several people through several teams before you actually obtain the assistance you are looking for, however once you get to the right team/person, be prepared to be talked to like you're an annoyance rather than a colleague. A lot of "pass the buck" type of mentality, and "that's not our responsibility" attitude, then discover the people/person you're looking for doesn't work there anymore. *They reduce staff under the guise of "redundancies of the role", when they're really moving the exact role to Philippines or other countries as they can obtain more employees for that same paycheck. *Will hire new staff, have you train them, then reduce the positions within that team after you've trained them. *Upper management will promote not based on merit but nepotism, and it's not a secret but up in your face, and will tell you "its not personal". *They will shove the "we care about our people" culture down your throat, when in fact they DO NOT care about their people, especially the knowledgeable ones, they will eliminate those as soon as possible to get fresh blood in, with no knowledge or expertise, and often in other countries so they can pay them less than here. Truth. *Management is top heavy, always has been, no change in sight for this down the road.
