Pros

It was very flexible and the overall atmosphere was positive.

Cons

Somewhere along the acquisition spree and ego pumping. There as huge turnover (more accurately, a purge!) starting from the top. When it reached the bottom it was a bloodbath for US employees. To anyone with an offer in hand or is looking for a job. Checkr(currently) is only good for collecting temporary paychecks. Your real career is still out there. I was given monopoly money with an expiration date unless the company goes public. Which it probably won't. Only the very top level could cash out on Checkr perceived market value. No one else could until it IPO.

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.
