Pros

Young, up-beat company, with good benefits and 401K. Fun, social culture with a lot of events held outside of the office.

Cons

The business unit is undergoing a lot of change after the new VP of Sales for North America took over. There are a lot of politics within the business unit and Senior Management will always have their own best interest in mind, but not always the best interest of their employees. I have not been personally affected by this, but have several former colleagues who have been "pressured" out of their roles in the company because they weren't personally liked by senior management, despite their performance and KPIs. This exact issue has brought on an active law suit for the business in the past few months. I've also witnessed a lot of underhanded activity on the sales end of things, which is not what I would have expected for such a well known, public company.

Pros

The fact they had Remote work

Cons

In my experience, management lacked consistency, transparency, and empathy when addressing employee concerns. After dedicating nearly 16 years to the company, I felt my years of service and commitment were not meaningfully considered when employment decisions were made. I received my first disciplinary action in February 2026 related to FMLA reporting requirements. From my perspective, I was placed on a final corrective action without prior coaching or progressive discipline, which I found surprising after many years with the company. A few months later, I was terminated following a security-related incident while working remotely. I felt I was not given a meaningful opportunity to explain the circumstances before the decision was made, leaving me with the impression that the outcome had already been determined. I also experienced frustration when seeking guidance from Human Resources regarding bereavement policies. I did not feel my concerns were fully addressed or that I received clear explanations to help me understand the company’s position. Overall, I left feeling unsupported and believing that HR’s primary role was to protect the organization’s interests rather than advocate for employees. While every workplace must uphold policies and compliance standards, I believe there should also be room for fairness, open communication, and consideration of an employee’s long-standing dedication and overall performance. My experience left me feeling undervalued and, ultimately, discarded after nearly 16 years of loyal service.
