Pros

Refresh days, unlimited PTO, some team members are very supportive, remote work opportunity

Cons

Poor leadership in Cx department, Client churn is very high, clients mainly in SmB and MM not many large clients, support from product team is nil, variable pay structure is a joke They make it impossible for you to get full variable pay, no growth opportunity within Cx team. If you want to move to a different role within organization they do not allow that

Pros

- Mostly good salary/benefits - Nice office - Some decent coworkers

Cons

If you have to do mass layoffs of hundreds of employees every 18 months, leaders need to look in the mirror to find the true problem with the business. Because it's not the competent people that actually get things done that are being laid off with no warning and limited severance. Don't expect any job security here. Also: - Still behind on certain benefits (extremely limited 401k match and bad expense policies not in line with US standards) - Work life balance is hard with large teams in both India and the US - Some employees who have been here 10+ years are completely unresponsive and largely incompetent but still get raises, promotions, and aren't ever scrutinized by leadership. The politics game runs deep here.
