It's fine, I guess

Pros

Pay is good, though doesn't quite align with CoL for the area. People here are nice enough.

Cons

Mandatory 3 days in office is not great. There is no reason for us to not be fully remote. Weekend work is awful and no one likes it. Its made worse by the way it's implemented (2-3 weekend days, with a random day off in the middle of the week that almost never aligns with another day off). Definitely kills anything resembling work/life balance. Poor communication between departments, though there does appear to be strides being made towards fixing this. KPI expectations undergoing an overhaul, but requirements are still unclear. Company would do well to establish SOPs for their major workflows. This would aid in both upscaling (much easier to learn a process) and speed (allows the workflows to handled by rote, making for more efficient and consistent case handling).

A lot of Politics

Pros

Some flexibility and career growth if you drink the koolaide and play the politics right If you’re lucky to work with the few strong leaders you will learn something

Cons

Unqualified management team Preference is given to a certain group of people Communication from the top is inconsistent making it difficult for teams to work together well Feedback is not welcome and change is rare even if you present proof of errors Will hire referrals who are not qualified or who the interview team said no to fostering a negative environment Relocating to Austin is a must
