Pros

If you're looking for in-office work (with hybrid flexibility), this isn't a bad place to work (depending on the team / manager you get).

Cons

Post covid, Q2 allowed all employees to transition to fully remote positions (which was great). But, they just announced that all remote workers (with a primary residence within 50mi of an office) will be FORCED to switch back to hybrid (2 days in office / week), or else be fired on the spot. For those of us that have built our lives around remote work, or were hired as a remote employee, this is a huge shift in our lives.

Thank you for your feedback. Our approach is focused on balancing the flexibility and individual productivity that remote work offers with the collaboration, innovation, and team connection that happens best in person. That’s why we’ve expanded our hybrid model with campus days in the office, designed to strengthen cross-functional teamwork while still providing flexibility. Furthermore, we provide employees six weeks out of the year to work from any US location with no campus requirement. We want to ensure everyone has plenty of time to prepare for this transition, which is why we have provided several months' notice in advance.

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.
