Pros

Steady check, some good folks like any company, technology dated but good for industry experience

Cons

All smoke and mirrors - place is a shadow of its former self * HR promotes awards on workplace culture based on employee surveys that are bias (respond positively or face consequences) * employee attrition or long-term employees being let go is constant (dog eat dog culture) * hiring and promotions not based on merit but relationships with upper management (several ex-employees have been magically re-hired in higher level roles) * since the Premeria buyout announcement the stock has magically stayed between $79-80 although the market is turbulent * remaining long-term employees are focused on survival till the impending payout in H1 2022 Place is sad and it’s no surprise that it’s time to be delisted and get a good payout with the buyout when you only sign 600 customers in 2021 and have a 7% churn rate. As a CSM with no leadership, I’m relieved to have left.

Pros

Compensation, Benefits, Bread and Circus

Cons

The right hand never knows what the left is doing, yet both seem to agree that as long as they don't provide any resources to the folks working directly with the customer, everything is going exactly to plan.

Pros

-Good product backed by strong foundational technology -Lead by amazing CEO and CTO who very much care about their staff -Salary is higher compared to what is paid elsewhere and excellent benefits -Talented engineering crowd

Cons

-Wannabe Directors and Managers especially in Product and Engineering, walk around with ego and pride about their job title more than their ability to execute a task at hand. Most have no proven success in the past and they struggle to line-manage a small team of direct reports. -Talented folks in areas of poor leadership have moved elsewhere, leaving the place with employees who are just coasting and would not be compensated enough as much as they would be there -Strategy seems struggling and needs help -Bullying is common and is mostly brushed off as conflict between employees and the one who speak-up against is often termed as difficult to work with. Looping in boss’s boss doesn’t help as in most cases they both are friends from a pervious company so the complaint becomes invalid.
