Pros

good work life balance if you take advantage of it and get your work done

Cons

First wave of outsourcing has started as the company isn't able to deliver on promises and the board and shareholders are what the c-suite answers to. Whole departments and teams that aren't the source of problems are being cut in this wave. Expecting customer support and software engineering to be next. Pay is very under market due to legacy job titles that get refused to be updated, so pay scale analysis shows they pay at market rates despite the roles not aligning with titles whatsoever. Very heavy penny pinching unless you're in sales. Stock continues to tumble because the engineering org can't release anything while the product and project org lacks execution on a direction or vision. Time spent overly analyzing how work gets done and constantly changing things that you get berated for if you don't follow. Prevalent LDS in-culture where they protect each other despite long standing issues. Very strong lack of ownership by nearly anyone. 15+ years of acquisition and tech debt with teams that used to manage technology refuse to move to help resolve or retire issues. Enterprise priorities is a shell game with no real meaning as teams just work on what they want. Tech lags behind severely dragging chances for innovation down, and slows down other teams greatly. Many clueless people that take no initiative to learn company processes or procedures. Culture of managers needing to be babysitters of their employees, causing constant friction and lack of understanding at various levels. Defaulting to action at many levels is looked down upon. Processes have heavy oversight, but poor culture and training around the behaviors to manage it, due to lacking resources and technical expertise in (nonlegal) compliance/risk/audit areas. Top leadership only answers questions at all hands with real answers if they are softballs. Hard questions are met with "we're listening" and no action.

Pros

Work from home and flexible scheduling

Cons

This could be an incredible place to work, but the culture is beyond toxic. You'll been run ragged and overworked with the promise of a promotion that'll never come or outright doesn't exist in the first place. After the year+ long budget ban on promotions was finally lifted, the Auths director got a new title and huge pay raise, meanwhile us bottom feeders had to start the career development plan over from the beginning. The people granted the few and far between grunt-level promotions are the ones who don't challenge management, bring up issues or try to correct outdated processes - smile and nod and you'll advance in no time! The only focus seems to be on quantity not quality in Rev Ops. The way metrics are measured has changed several times with no communication as to why or even when the changes take effect. Shortcuts are made left and right by mediocre "lifer" employees that pick off easy work to get their numbers because apparently that's all that matters. Hard workers are rewarded with more work while the slackers float by unfazed and unbothered because supervisors are too chicken to correct bad behavior. The goal seems to be to burn out a select few so the rest of the team can squeak by doing the bare minimum or less. Going above expectations IS the expectation for a few, going below is the expectation for many, yet somehow everyone "meets" when it's time for reviews. Workloads are constantly shifting - you'll just start to get a payor set down and functional only for them to shift everything around with no clear reasons as to why and absolutely no training. Getting "thrown into the deep end" is the standard training process. It's like they actively bristle at the thought of subject matter experts and prefer people to be in a constant state of confusion and frustration. Just as confusing as the process rollouts is budgeting. The HQ is a stunning (and empty) space that looks like a five star resort, but we no longer get employee appreciation gifts, stock sharing or meaningful raises. It's really hard to hear how we need to bring in more revenue (and how low the stock price is) while money is spent on an outdoor bbq pit, fancy furniture, Pelaton bikes, multiple floor to ceiling LED screens, and a virtual golf machine. We need stability and job security not shiny new toys nobody uses. It's all about optics, but behind the curtain is a company clearly struggling.
