Pros

Since joining 8x8 I have met a lot of great people who helped me to understand what does 8x8 do. The job itself looked hard at the beginning but the company provided all the information to help me understand my role in the business. I was a little bit sketchy at the beginning since I am working from home and all the training was via 8x8 platform, but I need to admit that it was easier than I expected. Great people do great things.

Cons

One downside is that some of the great job opportunities requires to work after the US time zone (many teams are not based in the US) .

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.
