Pros

- Unlimited PTO - Good compensation - Good training budget and benefits - Smart people to work with

Cons

Too many to count at this point, multiple RIFs to reduce headcount and help the company become profitable alongside several other firings of well respected individuals out of nowhere have soured the good will the company previously had. In addition employee incentives were cut in 1/2 and the aggressive shift from remote first to the push for physical SOCs in high cost of living areas just to have butts in seats to put on a show for visiting customers. In addition all new positions were also tied to those specific geolocations forcing current employees and high performers to either leave for a better opportunity or be stuck where they are if they're unable (which most people aren't) to pick up & move states away. Lack of support and tooling forces analyst to send up subpar & downright embarrassing escalations to customers with no signs of providing analysts with any support that isn't some form of "AI". TLDR: It doesn't feel like one of the hearts of your service is valued anymore. The quality of work as severely dropped, analyst's & your customers deserve better.

Pros

Working hard to turn around the culture. They are very transparent about past RIFs and future business outlook. Compensation and benefits are great!

Cons

No true onboarding or 30/60/90 day plan. This gives people autonomy to make the role their own, but can be scary since there’s been so many layoffs and not much seems to be documented when you’re a new hire.

Pros

The people here are amazing! I'm surrounded by brilliant team members who lift each other up and help everyone learn. There's also great cross team collaboration. Leadership is communicates openly and honestly and genuinely values employees. There are also ample opportunities to grow your career here. So far, it's been a very refreshing place to work.

Cons

There's no 401k match right now, but leadership seems to recognize the importance of bringing it back and is working to make it happen. Comp is slightly lower than industry peers, but the ability to make a difference in your daily work is valuable.
