Pros

The culture is, as many others have pointed out, amazing. The feeling of being part of a team is awesome, and definitely something that's missing a lot of places Hyland's size or larger. The work-life balance is good, and working from home is acceptable for certain departments, for certain reasons.

Cons

The mantra of "Doing a job to prove you can do it" is very, very prevalent at Hyland. Giving employees additional responsibilities before actually acknowledging those responsibilities with a promotion or a salary increase is not only common, it's the status quo. Recently, a company wide initiative was launched to standardize job titles and descriptions with nationally recognized guidelines. This was a good step forward, but has also increased the wage disparity that is all too common at Hyland. As many other reviews have stated, the pay at Hyland is well below the national average (around 30-40%, depending), and a fun culture and free (diet) soda does not make up for that kind of deficit.

Pros

Sabbatical program, growing focus on DEI, reasonably generous PTO. Many years of good memories. Still lots of good employees honestly trying to do their best.

Cons

The leadership hierarchy is insane. The upper levels of leadership are complacent, inept, and convinced of their own genius. All decision making agency is consolidated into a central core of roughly a dozen people who don't understand how to develop software at all. Below Senior Vice President, there are a collection of reasonably adept people who appear to be trying to keep things from going completely off the rails, to little effect. The only reason I'm still here is that I was lucky enough to get some stock early on, and I can't bear to leave. But the wheels are falling off the cart and I don't see how anyone can fix it with the current leadership in place. In a perfect world, we all get a chance to sell our stock and the whole executive team in R&D retires and the board hires outside leadership. If we have to wait for the board to come in and replace the old boys club running the joint, it will mean that we're already in a death spiral headed to acquisition. It will be sad to see such a historically good place to work collapse that way.
