Pros

Decent work-life balance. Exposure to a wide range of enterprise customers and technologies

Cons

Lack of transparency from leadership, with frequent changes in direction and promises that often go unfulfilled. Employee well-being does not appear to be a priority, reflected in repeated rounds of layoffs. There is a sense that the company lacks a clear and consistent long-term vision, which makes it difficult to feel confident in the organization's future

Thank you for this feedback. The work-life balance and breadth of customer and technology exposure you mentioned are things we hear consistently, and we're glad those have been meaningful parts of your experience here. We understand why periods of change can feel unsettling, and we're sorry that's translated into a lack of confidence in our direction. Transparency and follow-through from leadership are things we hold ourselves accountable to, and we know we don't always get that right. That said, we do hear a different story from much of our organization. Many employees tell us they feel connected to where we're headed and see the decisions we've made, including difficult ones, as part of building something more sustainable for the long term. We recognize that experience isn't universal, and that's something we continue to work on. If you're willing to share more, we'd welcome the conversation. Please reach out to HR directly. Feedback like this is how we improve.

Pros

Great people, great culture and pretty good work life balance. Salary is competitive and benefits are good (not great). They also have a fully remote business model that helps with work life balance. If your in a couple areas you can go into the office if you want to however.

Cons

Some fragmentation in the business makes driving positive outcomes more difficult then it should be. A little bit of a feeling that you have to justify your existence, nothing too severe, but it does add to some anxiety about job security.

Thank you for this. Glad the culture, people, and remote flexibility are resonating. The point about fragmentation and job security anxiety is heard. That feeling should not be part of the day to day experience and we are paying attention to it. Your suggestion on bringing SMEs into QBRs is a good one. Decisions are better when the people closest to the work have a voice. We appreciate you taking the time to be that specific and will share this internally.

Pros

Good remote working options are available

Cons

Direct leadership frequently used 1:1 meetings to discuss personal matters rather than tracking project timelines, yet would later blame subordinates when timelines slipped. It was an incredibly uncomfortable environment where it felt impossible to succeed. Good ideas would be implemented and well-received by others, but direct management would find something negative to focus on, like claiming it took too long Communication from direct management was passive-aggressive and often crossed professional boundaries. The language used in team settings was frequently inappropriate, including the use of highly offensive, derogatory language disguised as jokes. I was uncomfortable most of the time I worked there.
