The con of a lifetime

Pros

None, but I’ll at least say colleagues are somewhat easy to work with.

Cons

Seems very much like a cash grab by top leadership. Nothing about this company is efficient, innovative, industry leading or customer centric. It’s sort of like a hodgepodge of confusion mixed with desperation. Leaders might be the most clueless, insanely uninspired bunch of spoiled older males ever assembled to lead a company to its ultimate destruction. The stock has essentially tanked. They underpay everyone (except for top management, which is simultaneously redundant and backstabbing) there have been 25 resignations that I personally know of in the last 12 months. You might wanna stay away. Also, I love the fake reviews on here. People give 5 stars and zero insight… very suspicious. But honestly, who cares? At this point, the stock will just continue tanking until everyone gets fired.

Pros

-Work Life Balance is generally good -Team members are passionate, intelligent, and competent -Middle management / director level folks are awesome

Cons

-Everyone above a director seems to have no idea what the company actually does -Layoffs are frequent and seem to occur at random, and those roles will not be replaced, leaving teams short staffed -Quality of service has plummeted due to outsourcing work to overseas employees that do not understand the business -No upward mobility / opportunities for promotions past manager, everyone above that is hired from outside -No raises or bonuses in past 3 years, despite exceeding expectations as these are based on stock performance and customer survey results, both of which have been terrible -Little to no guidance offered by leadership, they do not seem to understand what the business does -Forcing all employees to return to office by threatening to reduce your pay until you go into an office, even if you were hired as fully remote and have been working as such for 10 years

Pros

It's a job. That's about the only positive thing I can say.

Cons

Constantly shifting priorities and reorganizations. Senior management doesn't have a clue of what they're doing, nor do I think they'd even care if they did. The RTO mandate is outdated and dangerous. Stop with the whole "collaboration" bit. We managed just fine being fully remote for nearly three years during the pandemic--in fact, we even thrived. If remote work was so bad, what about all the gains made during that time? Collaboration is just a buzzword for control. As for other aspects of the job, when we were the company that we were prior to the takeover, benefits were great, but now they're awful. Similarly for HR now--terrible. If you need assistance, good luck getting it. Outsourcing has damaged quality of work and nearly everyone I know is actively looking for other opportunities. I wouldn't trust any reviews on here that exclaim that this place is great. You notice that they barely have anything to say, and they're from people who haven't been here long? Take it from someone who's been here nearly a decade and has seen how the company has run this place into the ground. It's awful and the CEO is clueless. It really is just a matter of time before the company implodes. I just hope I'm far away by the time that happens. I might suggest Clarivate as a last resort, and even then, I'd be wary.
