- It's very hard to move up in the company. Most of the executive leadership are all related to or friends with the CEO/founder, so there's definitely an air of nepotism.
- Pay is below industry average
- They used to welcome remote work, and then dropped millions of dollars to renovate and expand the ILM offices, so then forced everyone back to the office. Why did they do this? No idea. This was after sending out surveys to all employees asking what working model they preferred. Most chose hybrid or remote.
- CEO always promised no layoffs and made it seem like there was millions in capital at the company's disposal, and then laid off 6% out of nowhere.
- I was a part of an acquisition that was a horrendous experience. Management had NO CLUE what they were doing and us employees from the smaller company felt like pawns instead of people.
This is a personal anecdote, but when I came back from maternity leave, my role had been divvied out to my peers and I was left with what felt like a demotion. After months of working with my manager to remedy the situation, I finally left the company on somewhat good terms for a better opportunity.
Fast forward several months, an opportunity opened up at nCino that I was interested in applying for. It would be under a different manager, and I always appreciated the benefits nCino offers employees, so I applied. Not only was the recruiter not responsive, but I was turned down because I requested to remain a remote employee. I get it, you need to fill your fancy new offices, but after 5 years of loyalty to the company, I expected a little loyalty in return.
