Pros

As redundant as it sounds, the people are the best. Everyone is willing to help if they have the time. The company also hosts fun activities such as happy hours. Good benefits package, relaxed work environment.

Cons

Genesys is growing, and fast. This sometimes leaves employees left uninformed. Also, the discontinuity with employee resources; it can be hard to find basic information due to there being so many portals. Back to back travel is no fun, as well.

Pros

- Brilliant engineering The company has probably the best Contact Center Stack on the market. Virtually the same architecture evolved successfully from "Atari Times" into the WEB APIs world - Focus on Mid Market and Cloud! Trying to aggressively penetrate the Mid Market and offering cloud solution, that's forcing the company to redesign the interfaces, making the product much easier, ergonomic and "beautiful". A lot of resources are allocated to R&D - Start up "feeling" with IPO potential The company has now almost 3000 employees. But at the headquarter you will enjoy free sodas, ping pong tables, cozy couches where to play Xbox games. Employees' happy hours and breakfasts in the fancy cafeterias are commons. - The owners are not milking the company as a cash cow. All the (lot) money the company is making is re invested in R&D and acquisitions. - Vacations days The company policy doesn't put a cap on the paid vacation days. Taking a reasonable number of vacation days is reccomended

Cons

- Daly City location The company headquarter is located in a quite foggy/unattractive location. But It's well served by Bart - Benefits package They are ok, but they are becoming sub par when compared with the industry - Compensation Good salary package, but hey we are in the Silicon Valley, there are companies out there which offer much more money for brilliant engineers.

Pros

Everyday I am blown away by my colleagues; they impressively intelligent individuals who really care about software. I was given a tremendous opportunity to be part of the management at Genesys and it has been extremely challenging and rewarding. I have learned a lot. It is a place where top people bring their A+ Game. And we know how to have fun; play hard and work harder!

Cons

We have a lot of opportunities in front of us; sometimes it is hard focusing on a few and have to change priorities.
