Pros

Great location, cool building, nice employee perks (free merchandise, etc), seems to be built a great principles

Cons

I can echo a lot of the negative points already pointed out by other reviewers. What stood out to me was how much they gushed about how great Q2 was, how wonderful they treated their employees, and how everyone loves working there, but the reality was much different. The management created an atmosphere of competition and micromanaging. I felt like I was in a fishbowl and that everything I did and said was scrutinized and would be held against me at my probation review 3 months in. Negative feedback far outweighed positive feedback and there was definitely an atmosphere of bullying and toxicity leveled at new hires. I got the feeling that employees who have been at Q2 for years love working there, but for new hires they churn them in and out so fast, treat them horribly, and then give out free goodies to bribe them to stay. There's a reason there is a high turnover rate and that there hiring process is so streamlined and quick.

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.
