Pros

- Unlimited PTO for Director level and above - WLB exists, dependent on the role

Cons

- Loose, autonomous interviewing style has led to a wide spectrum of people through the door (some are close to incompetent) - Cloud is not at the core of their business - it's still growing and going through growing pains. Lots of folks there don't know cloud but have internally transferred into cloud-facing positions - Leadership did not take swift action to make needed resource changes during 1H 2023 leading to changes to RIF and major changes bonus payout structure with short notice (less than two months notice until it takes effect) - Lack of clear strategy and priorities means that the company continues to take a "wait and see" or "organic" approach rather than picking big bets on the way forward to grow its business - For a company that sells change management services, leadership doesn't seem to embrace change management - No existence of internal job board, making internal moves solely contingent on who you know rather than level playing field for all - Seems to be channeling Amazon Leadership Principles more and more rather than sticking to own culture or building its own

Pros

•There is an impressive budget, especially for high-level events, ancillary experiences, client giveaways, and premium swag. Management does not hesitate to fund top-notch brand experiences when needed. •The company offers a highly competitive benefits and perks package that remains a strong selling point.

Cons

•The "fiercely human" core value does not match daily operations. Collaboration is routinely replaced by a self-service model of training videos and help articles. •These recurring shifts are designed to manufacture the appearance of fiscal stability for the benefit of external stakeholders and clients, while leaving core operational deficits unaddressed. •Organizational maturity is low. Teams operate in deep silos, the internal tech stack is outdated, and there is a distinct lack of adequate project and event management software.
