Pros

Good energy and bias towards action. Less bureaucracy than other companies. Onsite gyms, walking path and bikes. Massage. Free parking. Casual attire. Spot bonuses for performance.

Cons

Low pay. Many experienced employees take pay cuts to join the company hoping for better work life balance - but still work long hours. Flexibility does not exist across the board to work from home. Not many project management opportunities without significant travel. Salaries for internal job openings unknown - so you could apply and be offered a job only to learn that it may be well below the range you are currently at. Perks are nice but they don’t pay the bills and many times you are too busy working to take advantage of them. Open work environment is very loud and distracting. Worse in some areas than others. Hard to focus at times and difficult to find quiet space.

Unsatisfactory Work Culture

Pros

The majority of the people at Hyland are good, and no one wants to see anybody actively fail. The on-side diners and gym facilities are nice, and the remaining culture/activities are a perk.

Cons

Hyland underpays significantly, and when recruiting, goes specifically after junior developers who don't know any better so that they won't have to pay well. Same with QA testers. The quality of leadership is hit-or-miss, mostly miss. Corporate leadership is currently playing games with technical employees where they recognize that R&D is underpaid, but won't do anything about it and waffle around the issue when asked directly. I left after a year of corporate leadership being unable or unwilling to make pay decisions regarding R&D and share them with employees. The re-org was deeply unpopular and miscommunication abounded. No one is sure how to proceed with their jobs. Career paths are unclear. Training provided is rushed, unfocused, and often doesn't line up with actual job responsibilities. Management heavily plays favorites, and poor performers are promoted due to social connections and appearances. More junior employees are steamrolled, passed over, and/or ignored. Feedback is often lukewarm at best. The company's famous culture is rapidly disappearing due to financial irresponsibility, mismanagement, and poor decision-making. It's very disappointing.
