Pros

Fair pay, great CEO, snacks, catered lunches once a week, plenty of work to do which makes time go by fast.

Cons

The structure is still very “rigid”. Expect a NO on any sort of question you might ask management. Although you get salary, there is an underlying message of “you should be working 10-11 hours a day and work through lunch” and I don’t think that’s fair. During the recruiting process, the recruiter says it’s very possible to transfer within the company. After starting you learn that’s not true at all.

We are sorry to hear you didn’t have a favorable experience at Onit. Our Leadership strives to create work life balance for our employees, but like most companies there are peaks in our business that require us to lean in when needed. Feedback and suggestions are always welcomed and encouraged. Last year we implemented a quarterly eNPS survey as a way for Leadership to understand our current organizational health while getting inputs for improvements. Our employees growth and development is very important and as a way to fostering growth we’ve accommodated transfers within Onit and SimpleLegal when the opportunity arises and skillsets meet the requirements of the role.

Pros

Pros Onit provides strong exposure to complex SaaS sales and account management. Employees can gain experience across renewals, expansions, pricing negotiations, legal redlines, executive relationships, implementation challenges, and cross-functional collaboration. The product portfolio also creates multiple opportunities to grow accounts, and the role can help someone build valuable enterprise-level commercial skills. There is a high level of ownership, and successful employees can develop strong judgment around customer retention, negotiation, and revenue strategy. The company can be a good place for someone looking to transition into legal technology or build a stronger background in recurring-revenue SaaS.

Cons

A significant amount of responsibility can fall on the CSE, including resolving issues tied to implementation, support, billing, contracts, previous account management, and internal communication. Salespeople may find themselves managing customer frustration caused by issues they did not create. Internal processes can sometimes create unnecessary risk. Contract corrections, unclear ownership, pricing restrictions, inconsistent communication, and limited visibility into product roadmaps can make customer conversations more difficult than they need to be. The role can also feel like a combination of sales, customer success, project management, and account operations. Employees are often caught between advocating for the customer and protecting company revenue, which can create a high level of pressure. Base compensation may not always feel aligned with the complexity of the role, particularly when the position requires enterprise-level negotiation and extensive cross-functional coordination.

Pros

The people are talented, collaborative, and genuinely care about customers. There are some strong products and good market potential. Many employees work incredibly hard despite challenging circumstances.

Cons

The company has struggled to adapt to changing market conditions. Pricing remains significantly above competitors, yet sales quotas continue to be based on historical pricing assumptions. Asking sales teams to deliver the same revenue targets while deals require substantially deeper discounts is unrealistic and creates unnecessary turnover. Product strategy also lacks focus. Rather than investing in making core products best-in-class, the company continues introducing new offerings before existing products have reached the level of maturity customers expect. This has resulted in a broad portfolio that often feels like a jack of all trades but master of none. The organization tends to be reactive instead of proactive. Market changes are addressed after competitors have already moved, making it difficult to establish a clear competitive advantage. Frequent reorganizations have become the norm, creating uncertainty and resulting in talented colleagues losing their jobs. Instead of solving underlying strategic issues, the reorganizations often feel like short-term responses that disrupt employees and customers alike.
