Pros

I honestly can't think of many. Many people at Q2 are happy. However, the majority of them are not in any branch of support. I suppose a pro would be that they at least feed you when they have a mandatory 12 hour day..

Cons

To start, you need to understand that many of the positive review on glassdoor are padded, I am not the first review to say this and Im sure I wont be the last. Within the first 3 days, they will ask you to log into facebook and linked in and talk about how much you "love your new job at Q2" even though you haven't even been able to develop an opinion. If you are looking to start and are debating accepting a position in support i would strongly suggest that you keep looking. They have a massive overload of cases that cannot be handled as they are understaffed. They fire people and lay people off for virtually no reason and dont like to hire people to replace them. Almost every other week they will have a Required 12 hour day that you must be in the office to work, since you will likely be salary you will not likely be getting paid overtime. One top of this they will also want you to be on call since they refuse to have a night crew but insist on providing 24 hour support. They call it 'on call' but really its a cell phone that rings every time a new case comes in and since you are the only one working you will have to deal with every ticket that comes in. You will still be responsible for all other duties during the day. Your metrics are graded on the number of cases closed rather than the quality of work put into them. The amount of cases received each day easily hits 15-20. Due to a high workload, you are required to close many of these each day, you will not close all of them. They will eventually stack and get to a point that you have so many tickets it becomes nearly impossible to track all of them. It is not uncommon to have 60+ tickets in your backlog on average. Since it is impossible to keep afloat in 8 hours, management has been known to literally tell people to work more hours in order to manage being overloaded. It is not uncommon to work 60+ hours a week just to keep your job... If you cannot keep up they fire you, regardless of quality, they want quantity, to management it is a numbers game and the actual issues being worked mean nothing. Due to this cycle of firing people and not hiring people as fast the team stagnates and continues to be overloaded, overworked and underpaid.

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.
