Pros

You will likely learn a lot working here because of the demand on employees to produce. Good pay.

Pros

People are intelligent, compassionate, and kind.

Cons

Five9 has really gone downhill over the years. We used to have a strong culture, whether you were working remotely or in the office. But after COVID, it feels like remote workers have been completely overlooked. We're no longer included in any of the in-office events, and it seems like there's no effort to engage us anymore. It’s frustrating to see our CEO constantly bringing in friends, while those of us who’ve put in the hard work to move up barely get a shot. It’s as if positions are handed out based on connections rather than merit. On top of that, there's no clear direction. We're left to navigate through constant chaos, just repeating the same cycle over and over.
