Pros

Office culture is great: no need to work controlled by a time-clock. Time off policies are open: you simply need to discuss them with your manager. There is a "work hard, play hard" type of culture, so it is a great place to work for self-motivated folks.

Cons

Company was bought by private equity investors and since then tolerance to both employees and customers have changed (reduced). Personal growth is limited: you need to build a strong network of internal allies to be able to internally grow in the organization.

Thank you for posting and for your many positive comments. Regarding your comment about our investors, I have worked for companies financed by private equity firms in the past, and I am pleased to say that Permira is very different. They don’t only care about numbers; they care about people and actively encourage us to invest in talent. Their distinctive culture is a critical part of their global, multi-location and multi-sector approach, emphasizing collaboration, communication and team orientation. Our other owners are equally invested in our internal community, encouraging us to continue to develop our culture and independence since our spinoff from Alcatel Lucent in 2012. If you have additional concerns, I welcome your direct feedback and am always available. …Tracy

Pros

Changes last year were tough, but the right strategy for a high growth SaaS company. Employee actions aligned with company values.

Cons

a bit of "not invented here, we have all the expertise we need" mentality between business units is impacting collaboration

Pros

Flexible PTO, August Fridays off, company shuts down from Christmas to New Year, there are some great people and managers, remote flexibility

Cons

Lack of transparency in communication top down, lack of empathy in handling layoffs, lack of leadership training for managers to be real leaders, culture pushes out empathetic leaders in favor of those who grind people down to ensure they deliver results no matter the cost.
