Pros

4 day work week; Conyers location

Cons

Everything good about a healthy corporate culture is non-existent here. There is no diversity of thought at the SVP level. There were no consequences to poor business decisions and there has not been any change in leadership considering the company has seen mediocre financial results since 2017 (excluding the appointment of a new CEO). As many have stated, there is a "favorites" network that protects the executive leadership. If you are looking for professional development look elsewhere. There were very few individuals that had the competency to grow and develop their teams. There was no strategic vision that was cast from the top down. Common goals and objectives were obsolete and haphazardly chosen. SVPs were given "stretch" assignments to manage new strategic and important functions without formal training in those functions. Typically, promotion from within is a great quality for an organization; however, the talent pool was so poor and professional development so obsolete that individuals promoted to key positions could not effectively run their functions. Outside perspective and new leadership is key for one to expect significant change to occur to make this a place for a solid career.

Pros

Fully remote, collaboration is excellent with Sales and Engineering teams. Nice people.

Cons

Onboarding was awful. Tend to turnover people frequently, always around April and October, which coincides with their fiscal year. HR people are never the same for very long. Medical benefits are ok. Questionable ethics in the Legal & Compliance Dept of all places. It's evidenced with all the legal counsel they have hired, there are more of them than there are customer service people it seems. It pays the bills, but it's not a job one should count on for long term. It seems the strategy is hire with high pay, but let go within a year. Seen it happen to many people.
