Pros

1. Free nuts, bar and Wednesday lunch. 2. Colleagues are helpful 3. As more experienced employees are leaving , you will work with less experienced coworkers/ interns. Hence it is easy to put blame on others.. lolz

Cons

1. Very less pay. Salary difference would be of 40% in comparision to other companies. 2. Company's attitude of there way or highway 3. No work life balance 4. Realease happens during night times that means you can not enjoy your evenings. 5. Any one from work can call you anytime. Getting a call at midnight is normal. 6. Company visions itself to be a top player but in reality niether there product nor there vision or actions demonstrate there goals. 7. Don't be surprised if you are working on christmas eve or day or any other federal holidays. 8. HR and managers wants you to take more responsibilites which you were not hired for or for which you will not be paid. But if you ask for compensation, like I said "my way of highway". 9. Standsup with managers are useless 10. Most of the reviews are fake or are posted from sales or high level manager or directors. Most of which are proving there loyalty to company, meanwhile they are looking for a job somewhere else. 11. If you want to work for a company which does not believes in keeping and employee happy and is in negative as far as employee retention is concerned, 8x8 inc is for you.

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.
