Pros
I felt compelled to write a review because there are a number of employees who have either been let go or left on mutual terms recently, that have since come to Glassdoor to vent their frustration. At the end of the day, Simon is an amazing place to work. Disrupting a large market with a highly differentiated approach isn't easy. If that doesn't scare you and you like to work hard, you'll fit right in. If you expect your job to be a place that pampers you and doesn't expect you to push yourself and your teammates, this probably isn't the right fit. I've never felt more rewarded for my hard work than watching the company and team at Simon succeed. The product has been advancing at a blistering pace over the past few years. What matters to the business is that we can close and retain clients at a high rate, deliver meaningful value for them and create a space for our employees to grow. We're a 9 or 10 out of 10 in each of those categories. Sure, there are things we could do better. One thing I love about Simon is our willingness and ability to recognize those things and work to make a difference. As a technology company, this makes us a better business, and as a team, it makes us more cohesive. But, ultimately, it starts with the individual, so if you consider working here, ask yourself what you're really looking for in a job (i.e. just a paycheck and/or career potential). By the way, our CEO, Jason, and executive team are not racists or sexists (50% of our C-suite are women). It's easy to say baseless things online and hide behind the shroud of anonymity these forums create. It's harder to affect change around things like hiring a more diverse workforce. But, like every other challenge we face, the people who actually care about Simon, who still work here and who are committed to making it succeed are as committed to D&I as anyone you'll meet in life.
Cons
Disruption isn't for everyone. See above.
