Pros

Remote work option is helpful (unless you're a lower level EE and in CS, they don't give that option to Account Managers unless they hit certain tenure/levels

Cons

Most importantly........EXECUTIVES/C-SUITE GETS UNLIMITED PTO! Repeatedly in their "transparent" Q&As in Zoom, employees keeping asking for unlimited PTO policies and get told consistently "it's not a feasible model", "employees don't utilize PTO enough when it's offered based on our studies". Come to find out, they have this policy existing for them and they aren't being transparent to their workforce. They keep dangling the carrot of a promotion in front of me with repeated "keep working hard on these and we will consider it again".

Work remote. Fantastic leaders, Definitely a place I have enjoyed working.

Cons

Pay is slightly less than competitors but work life balance and culture make up for it.

Pros

Great benefits; 90% of the ppl that worked there were the best and really did great work.

Cons

Made employees choose between having MLK Day off or Juneteenth- both which are federally recognized holidays. Excuse was that our customers are open on those days so we need to be open. So as a company, we had to pick which would be a paid holiday and everyone chose Juneteenth because it was in the summer. I think we got a floating holiday to use for any other holiday we wanted off that wasn’t recognized by the company. As you can imagine, this racism was prevalent in management/leadership. My team was the most diverse team and we all got restructured/laid off. There’s a lot of ego and control issues in this company, especially in Talent Acquisition.
