Pros

Some of the people you work with will be fantastic. Pay was decent.

Cons

Leadership is inexperienced, thinks hiring from big tech is a magic bullet (how many Salesforce people can you fit at Checkr?), and has successful revenue metrics in spite of itself so they pat themselves on the back. Highly political environment, everyone is afraid they're going to get fired and looks out for #1. Tenure is ridiculously short, and people who have been there for any length of time look broken and helpless. Don't work here.

Pros

Great insurance. Learning Stipends, etc

Cons

-Senior leadership only cares about what is new and shiny. -They treat AI like a religion. Forcing everyone to use AI for everything as though we don't realize that the end goal is to eliminate our roles - All Hands Meetings every month where Senior Leadership pats themselves on the back while ignoring any existing issues. - Support is treated like a necessary evil instead of a fundamental part of doing business. Would prefer to ship the roles overseas or replace with AI - Extremely high attrition for Senior Leadership.
