Pros

Doctor on site Volleyball Onsite daycare Onsite wellness center Happy hour during the middle of the day Random perks - dry cleaning discount You can apply for any job in the organization and no matter how unqualified, get it if the right people like you

Cons

Ineptitude at all levels No adherence to best practices Cult-like culture Most managers and C- level started working there out of college Hyland way or no way (no matter how bad the Hyland way is) Silos - and each department does things differently Not very cutting edge or forward thinking for a software company Low salary compared to average Standard health, 401k, vacation benefits Management doesn't have a breadth of experience as everyone has only worked at Hyland Lots of nepotism Lots of cronyism Org structure is redundant and roles overlap No one seems to actually be in charge Everyone is busy, yet everyone has time to play volleyball in the middle of the day Constantly kids running around the place Inconsistent polices - some people are allowed to work from home while others aren't. No real rhyme or reason outside of manager preference. PMOs and Centers of Excellence in name only

Pros

Work/life balance Great people to work with on daily basis Ability to work remote (US based) Plenty of development opportunities I've been given the tools I need to do my job and be innovative I have an amazing manager and team that I lead

Cons

I am restricted on where I can hire new employees right now. There are a lot of competing priorities with similar deadlines which can be stressful, but the days go by fast.

Pros

Remote or hybrid capability. Usually a flexible schedule.

Cons

Constant quiet firing. They've figured out how to avoid public disclosures quite well. Every month they're whacking batches of 20~30 employees - esp. if you were in a higher pay band or part of an acquired company. There's constant leadership churn as of late - not that leadership was ever that great, but the clownshow has more makeup on the pigs now. If you were part of an acquired company, the stench of nepotism was constant. Hyland doesn't provide legitimate training or certification assistance for everyone. Their products would fail any sort of security scan by an AI tool too. If you're a customer, buyer beware.
