Hey there, firstly thank you for all your contributions - with a tenure like yours I am certain you were involved in some really impactful work. Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with the Glassdoor community! I agree, that our team has unlimited paid leave sets a tone of work/life integration and balance. Our team members are able to take the time they need when they need it and our team leads and executive team model this ensuring it is a consistent and accessible benefit. You are also correct in that our teams, for the most part, are able to set their own OKRs. Yes, we always collaborate to ensure that everyone is on the same page, but largely we let the team members lead. The same is true for our performance management, everything begins with a self-assessment, which in addition to performance details, includes feedback for management and desired future development. I am not sure I understand your assertion "that you can't simply 'work'." What we see every day is empowered team members getting work done, serving our customers, and progressing towards goals. Thanks again for sharing your thoughts.

Pros

Flexible PTO (though this is changing). Work-life balance was decent, especially earlier on. My customers were the best part of the role, and I genuinely felt for them as they navigated a significant amount of organizational change.

Cons

I stayed longer than I probably should have because the strongest parts of my experience were early on. After the acquisition, the culture shifted enough that many people started reevaluating their time here. It became more process-heavy, less transparent, and much more rigid than before. Management experiences varied widely. At one point, I went months without a clear direct manager or consistent point of contact, which created confusion around ownership and expectations.
