Pros

Regularly work less than 40 hrs per week. Good office location. A few nice coworkers.

Cons

This is a chaotic time for the company. While many people step it up and want to help the company succeed, this leaves room for people with poor intentions to get away with bad behavior including slacking in work, covering up bad work and lack of dedication and being generally disrespectful of colleagues and the company. During my time here I experienced or witnessed blatant ageism, sexism and racism. Two non-white employees in sales were not invested in and then terminated, and another was "managed out". Rather than looking objectively at if these people were supported in success, the narrative was that they were simply poor performers. Women are also systemically treated poorly. Over a period of two months over 8 female employees quit and it wasn't until recently that the health insurance covered reproductive benefits. Rather than addressing the root cause, the company's solution was to over hire women, which led to the challenges of having unqualified people in managerial roles, though I hear they've since been demoted. HR is lonely and more concerned with making friends with management, getting employees to literally do HR's work, and covering up poor systemic behavior rather than addressing it, all while smuggley pointing fingers. During my tenure at the Data & Insights division I never was given clear expectations or set a goal, was not told of any sort of career trajectory I could be aiming for, had a proper verbal feedback or formal evaluations. Most of my job was spent trying to find projects that would be helpful or useful then told it was wrong or not needed. Success is determined by getting in with the right people, which is kinda how you know you're in a bad environment. The quality of hiring has dropped significantly since the acquisition. Check out senior leaders and you'll find that they've either a) worked for the company for decades or b) have not previously worked for a company you've heard of or attended a university you've heard of, if they have a degree at all. I joined this company because I cared about the mission of helping governments serve their constituents but was disappointed to find how disconnected the entire company is from it. Many senior leaders have zero experience with government, which should be fine but after talking to them more you find they really don't possess any passion for the mission either. D&I is trying with the cultural values, but Tyler Technologies has none (look it up). This is a great place for mediocre people to come and coast and take advantage of the inefficiencies and dysfunction. If you don't fit that description don't make the mistake I did.

Pros

BCBS insurance/decent benefits. Good amount of PTO (4 weeks to start, holidays, and 2 floating holidays). WFH M/F and as needed. Solid company so job stability is good as well, which is important in this economy. Flexible in terms of appointments and schedules. Room for growth in your position. Most of mid-level management are kind and open to listening to you.

Cons

Definitely underpays compared to the industry standard across the board. Promises more money is coming year after year, but never delivers - senior management is the roadblock here - may not be the case for all departments though. Promotion does not always equal significant/decent pay raise. No sick days - lumped in with PTO instead. However, you can WFH when sick/as needed. Recently changed health insurance to no longer cover diagnostic testing/bloodwork at 100%, so you may get hit with a couple hundred dollar bill.
