Pros

Gives good RSU benefits and ESPP

Cons

No training , no compassion at all, my manager was so much disinterested and disrespectful since day1. No flexibility at all , I had to choose between my two appointments which one to go for, and when my brother in law passed away I went on bereavement leave and after returning from leave they fired me, such insensitive and inhumane behavior. They gave me performance as a reason for the termination, where as this is completely false, I was excelling in my performance however I wasn’t provided proper training. My manager seen me as a competition and a threat to her so she eliminated me in very immoral way. I regret investing my time and money in this company.

Pros

Not a single pro, this company is awful

Cons

- Leadership promotes their boys club buddies that severely lack leadership skills - The product sucks. It's nowhere near industry standard - The culture is HORRIBLE. Very much sink or swim, no support, zero engagement with other employees unless you suck up to them or are in the office - Mid Market "RVP" leaders are some of the worst Ive ever seen. If you dont go to them to appease their ego for every little thing, they will "manage" you out - SKO was the worst broke company efforts Ive ever seen. Shouldnt have had one, this company is embarrassing. The public speakers and corny jokes were the most cringe thing Ive ever witnessed, Ive never felt more demotivated in my life - Boys club culture to the fullest, if you dont stroke everyones ego, you're out Stay far away from this company. Go to a real CX/UC company. FIve9 is begging for acquisition and no one will take them. The system is old and ugly. Run from this org. Don't bother.
