High performance culture

Pros

You work with smart people - at least 90%+ of the workforce is. It is so nice to work with competent people after working at previous jobs with people who were not only incompetent but arrogant. The people at Taxware want to solve problems and the focus, most of the time, is on finding solutions. In previous jobs the focus seemed to be more on sounding smart in a meeting and political BS. There may be political BS at Taxware too but I don't see it. The culture is one of accountability and results. I think this is a great place to learn and to grow.

Cons

Communication with employees could be improved.

Pros

Lots of opportunity to take on some serious challenges and pursue things well beyond what you might get to do elsewhere. There are also some really smart, passionate, and committed people in the organization, and many people are sincerely trying to do the right thing. While there remains a lot of room for improvement, things are getting better.

Cons

There are a lot of broken promises, commitments, and neglected relationships going back to when the organization was in ADP. In some cases those issues are continuing to this day. Consequently, you may find yourself picking up a lot of messes created by those before you. The organization tries to be focused on high performance, but that frequently results in people being summarily removed, rather than a place where people get regular feedback and feel safe to take risks. Organizational politics can become pretty bad as well, especially across departments.

Much better than reviews made it out to be.

Pros

After reading the reviews on Glassdoor, I declined to return the recruiter's emails. A friend who had worked for a Vista owned company talked me into talking to the recruiter. She said that Vista often comes in and changes things and people understandably get upset. I'm glad I went through the interviews and now I work at Taxware. The company does a great job of on-boarding and training, with continuous training available so all employees are exposed to best practices and concepts. Teamwork and (for real) positive atmosphere - everyone wants to make the company better and are willing to work together to make it happen. Good cooperation across different groups. Work life balance is good (surprising for the size of the company).

Cons

The company was pulled out of ADP and is basically starting with very few tools and assets. Groups are trying to improve the product and build sales tools at the same time they are trying to improve customer satisfaction. There is a lot of 'challenges' left over from ADP or just after ADP days. But as I said above, everyone is in it together.
