Pros

There are lots of cool coworkers & events that made in-office fun. I liked that they were so big into the community as well. The benefits & stock were pretty good too.

Cons

The title of my review was literally said to me by my manager around performance review/raise time. You'll never get more than a 1% raise unless you are SERIOUSLY busting it. Also they pledged $1B to AI instead of giving their employees raises.

Pros

Hybrid Colleagues Training courses on percipio

Cons

Extremely rigid KPI and adherence system Breaks and lunch must be taken to the exact minute — being even 1 minute early or late counts as non-adherence Heavy reliance on time-based metrics (e.g. very low average handling time targets), sometimes conflicting with good customer service. Can only spend 6.5 mins on a ticket. Going over will take you over your average handling time and can lead to a pip. Customer satisfaction is less important than staff stats and kpi's. Very limited flexibility or discretion The constant monitoring and strict enforcement led to severe anxiety for me over time Overall: This is a highly metric-driven IT helpdesk where performance is monitored very closely. While some people may be comfortable working under strict, minute-by-minute adherence rules, I personally found that the rigidity of the KPIs and the pressure to meet conflicting targets resulted in significant stress and severe anxiety. A more balanced and flexible approach to performance management would greatly improve the employee experience.
