Pros

Teams have good people on them, a lot of them are friends. Let you pick if you work remote, in office, or hybrid. Some nice perks like the LSA. If you have the pleasure of working with someone who's been at Hyland for a long time, they'll tell you all about how awesome the company used to be.

Cons

Lay offs (obviously), benefit costs, Hyland is getting rid of a lot of exclusive perks, so there won't be much to differentiate themselves from any other company. Private equity is squeezing every last penny out of the company to increase the valuation for next year. I wonder why. I heard that some teams were kept on to train their outsourced replacements. One last thing, there are several recent 5 and 4 stars reviews. These are really hilarious, considering they just laid off 20% of their workforce. It's crazy how some people will jump so fast to lick corporate boots without realizing they're only spared until the next round of lay offs.

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.
