Pros

No pros. Avoid at all costs

Cons

If you’re interviewing for this role ask them why they’re hiring. Very toxic place to work. A lot of stress and misalignment on initiatives across different function. Everyone is working towards different goals. Pay is very low and commission targets are unachievable. You’re basically a PA to the sales and renewals team. No support to the customers so at the end of the renewal you are a full on firefighter

Pros

- Lots of freedom to choose what you work on, trusted to complete work without any micromanaging - Interesting products and lots to learn - After the acquisition by Thoma Bravo, upper management has been communicating a lot more with the rest of the company which was lacking before - Employee feedback is acted on

Cons

- Compensation is somewhat lackluster (pitiful employer pension contributions, mediocre salary for a HCOL city) - 9:30am start but 6:00pm finish which is a bit late
