Pros

Though the new strategy is sound and is resonating with customer, it is a few years too late.

Cons

The previous executive team took this company to a billion dollars. The new executive team will not be able to stop the bleeding that has been happening for several years. To begin, the new CEO has created a toxic culture with no trust amongst employees. Hyland is no longer what it used to be and the other new C-level officers are not to be trusted as well. Their general approach has been to simply lay off the old and bring on people that look good on paper but have no idea what they’re doing. Customers have been upset at the slow pace of innovation and pretty soon the C-level team will realize that turning the tables so drastically will only backfire on them as customers can clearly see what’s happening internally within the company. Not only have you lost the trust of your employees, soon both customers and the board will lose faith in you as well (many agree it’s already started). If you are considering to join this company, look elsewhere. Despite your performance and talent, the company’s future is what’s at stake and there is a high probability that the company will be sold and another management change will happen within the next 1-2 years.

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.
