      Pros

      Growing alongside this company as it has matured over the years has been awesome. The expectations are reasonable, the pay and benefits are fine. It’s just a solid shop for engineering. The health insurance is top notch, a huge benefit to me and family. It’s been a good to share in the success by benefiting from the stock.

      Cons

      The product is matured to a level where we’ve got all the pieces for HCM and the job is to refine them. It’s less exciting than the early days when we were fighting to get feature parity and there was greater upside for employees: promotions, stock awards, bonus attainment. The opp to stand out or pitch in to the future of the company is less. It used to be very compelling. Several years ago I felt very consulted about decisions. I had the opp to be involved in policy, process by putting my hand up. Since we’ve gotten so big decisions are made much more unilaterally, top down. EMs are left with “do your job” only. The most recent example is moving me to unlimited PTO. That came out of nowhere.

      Work remote. Fantastic leaders, Definitely a place I have enjoyed working.

      Cons

      Pay is slightly less than competitors but work life balance and culture make up for it.

      Pros

      Great benefits; 90% of the ppl that worked there were the best and really did great work.

      Cons

      Made employees choose between having MLK Day off or Juneteenth- both which are federally recognized holidays. Excuse was that our customers are open on those days so we need to be open. So as a company, we had to pick which would be a paid holiday and everyone chose Juneteenth because it was in the summer. I think we got a floating holiday to use for any other holiday we wanted off that wasn’t recognized by the company. As you can imagine, this racism was prevalent in management/leadership. My team was the most diverse team and we all got restructured/laid off. There’s a lot of ego and control issues in this company, especially in Talent Acquisition.
