Pros

Pros doesn’t matter if you dont provide job security and peace of mind to your employees

Cons

Frequent layoffs, you will always be worried about your job here, every few months they do layoffs. Lot of micro management, even they will track your commits, PR reviews, line of code done, they are tracking efforts based on quantity not quality, even after so many micromanagement, they are frequently doing the layoffs, very unstable environment, I wont recommend anyone to join this company.

Pros

There are literally no pros that I can provide

Cons

Was here less than 3 months and laid off due to reorganization, redundancy and lower than expected revenue in the first half of the year, even though I hit my Q2 quota. Literally laid off on the last day of Q2 when I brought in a large (over $75K) new sale that I won’t even see the commission on. Worst company and employee experience ever. Changed my account base and account quota twice during the quarter. They overcharge their customers with their yearly “uplift” without any added benefit or value to their services. They are a complete mess and it’s no wonder why their customers are leaving and cancelling their renewals. They have lost all trust in PS. They should be called POS. Their customer/tech support is awful and will take weeks if not months to resolve a customer issue. SLT just says “work harder, build a fake pipeline so that Severin or Bain will think we are doing great!” Ugh. Gross. 20/10 do not recommend.
