Pros

Hybrid position, Job security, Good benefits. Not busy year round, mainly only at quarter ends.

Cons

Pay is not equivalent to the workload. Management does not value employees, only two out of four can actually help you if you are stuck with an issue. They always expect you to do more and do not pay you more. Their reward for your hard work is not a good raise, rather more work. I feel like there is favoritism toward certain SOSs in the department. They promote and pay more to people who are playing the corporate game correctly. Extremely stressful during quarter ends. Always busy near holidays. Can never take a Christmas vacation. Lots of blackout days on their black out calendar. The job description does not match all of the responsibilities and expectations.

Pros

-Comp -Benefits -WFH -My mgr was great

Cons

-Like any big software company there are cliques within each business unit. Everyone gets along but if you are not in the "in crowd" it can be hard to move up/to different roles. - For me there was not career support to help you move to new roles or mgmt - Lots of misleading messaging from the top, probably due to KKR's ownership. They didn't care about customers or employees just the numbers.
