Stay Away! No good vision or leadership

Pros

Product is good but now has no new flare or innovation that will excite people.

Cons

1. it was ~late 2019 or early 2020 where the rating was at an all-time low, and a certain Org told to write a review on glassdoor to up the rating (CEO was MDC). You will see a bunch of 1 and 2-star reviews and, all of a sudden, all five reviews the next month. 2. Huge disconnect between leadership and everyone. This will not improve at all. 3. Benefits are getting worse. 4. Work/life balance has hit the lowest as I left the company. 5. NO growth opportunity. 6. Pay is low and losing people at a high rate. The company said they were hiring a third party to do a compensation review; Don't know what happened to that. I can go on but by now people reading this review get the point and the culture.

Product great, communication sucks

Pros

Rock-solid, mature product, better than competition, and getting better.

Cons

Communication Either it’s barking of managers trying to grab spotlight on deals. Or it’s crickets chirping to requests for product, process, or policy clarification. Or it’s the snarling between divisions with competing agendas. People of talent and experience are hitting the door. No word from upstairs on how to retain or replace them. Just out-of-blue announcements designed to make work/life harder. Like greenlighting somebody’s idea for revamping ops process in mid-quarter and not during annual shutdown. Or requiring all US employees to be fully jabbed in forty days or lose their jobs just in time for Christmas. It’s all about Federal business, so all must comply—Federal-facing or not, remote or not. Can’t really say why. Just wear a mask, please, indoors and out. But actions communicate loudest. And compliance must be more valuable than employees—even in a tight labor market with best talent getting poached right and left—because leadership is not lifting a finger to push back on the mandates, no matter how ridiculous.
