Pros

Nice new shiny building with plenty of windows. Pleasant office work space. Development work is challenging and interesting. Development environment is collaborative.

Cons

First and second level management is overstretched to point where they are basically unavailable to subordinates, except for regularly scheduled group meetings. Most software developers have their daily work time tracked by an Orwellian tool called Toggl that management and executives hawkishly monitor without providing much in the way of feedback or disclosure. Management expectations are not clearly communicated until it is too late. Company bends over backwards to ensure that contractors are treated differently than regular employees. Both regular employees and contractors are inexplicably kept in dark about matters for which there is no obvious reason to conceal.

Pros

The people here are amazing. Q2 has been an incredible place to work. From day one, I felt welcomed by a team that genuinely cares about helping one another succeed. The culture is collaborative, supportive, and centered around doing what’s right for both employees and customers. Leadership communicates a clear vision, and there’s a strong sense of purpose in helping financial institutions better serve their communities. The company also provides excellent opportunities for learning and professional growth. Hard work is recognized, managers are invested in employee development, and there’s an emphasis on maintaining a healthy work-life balance. The benefits are competitive, and Q2 continues to invest in its people and technology. Overall, it’s a company where you can build a meaningful career while working with genuinely great people.

Cons

None right now to mention.

Pros

I love working at Q2. My personal experience has been very positive. I've had the privilege of being on multiple teams in various departments during my time here and I have had excellent experiences with my managers, leadership, and coworkers.

Cons

The return to office policy is very rigid. I would like to see them adopt a "commute time" policy rather than miles. 50 miles is not equal drive time in Austin vs somewhere like Nebraska. We've lost many excellent coworkers due to this policy. All that institutional knowledge, right out the door in favor of sticking to company policy.
