Pros

Compensation is alright, but even that is on a downhill trajectory

Cons

Where to begin. Tech is outdated, and they’re now playing catch up through acquisitions. Senior management is completely tone deaf. It’s all about singing the same song that nothing is wrong. All whilst the best employees are running for the hills. Churn is at an incredible high and new business is slowing down significantly. The real shift happened when Aneel stepped down and they brought in Carl. The guy’s only interest is short term stock growth to hit hit bonus targets. Not thinking about the long term success of the company and he’s ready to sacrifice the whole company and the customer base to get his big pay out.

Pros

-Great Healthcare benefits -Great people -Great work/life balance

Cons

-It takes entirely too long to get promoted and there's no real solidified pathway for it. They have a checklist of things you need to be proficient in and you do them, but really you're doing next level work/responsibility at the same pay you've been at for a long time. It's almost like you're being dangled a carrot but the goal post is moving back each time. -Internal processes are slow and organizational changes happen so frequently much its hard to keep up with while the reasoning doesn't always make sense -You'll be moved into a different role, team or manager without any prior discussion
