Overall, a Decent Place to Work

Anonymous employee

Pros

• Benefits are good, PTO is unlimited (mandatory minimum two weeks / suggested max 4 weeks) with manager approval, work schedule is flexible (depending on your department) and working from home is typically always allowed. • Overall, people in the company are friendly, nice, and enjoyable to work with. This certainly can be department-specific. • Can be very autonomous. • HR really focuses on the “Great Place to Work” initiative, often creating small events, delivering food, and asking for feedback from employees.

Cons

• Training on the products and the company is little to none which is unfortunate because it can be pretty complicated to grasp. This definitely enhances the learning curve. • Little to no team work, everyone works independently. • Can seem disorganized at times. Systems don’t always jive, no planning / lots of last minute projects, people working on the same projects, etc… • Very little individual feedback in regards to job performance • Some employees – in my department specifically – seem stressed, short, and sometimes unfriendly • Lots of “this is your job / this is my job / this is not my job” type of delegation. Very little collaboration on projects. • Over-glorification of being “so busy.”

Decent place, brutal politics

Pros

It's a pretty laid back environment, mostly flexible hours, lots of good, smart people. Pay is pretty good for the industry and size of company. Upper management is a good group with good vision and have eliminated most of the negativity within the organization.

Cons

The politics in the middle tier of the company can be brutal. Some of the cliques can be difficult to work with and many individuals who are in powerful position offer little value to the business or their respective teams. Some managers are known to do close to nothing, but somehow are still here. There are still some negative influences within the company that need to be dealt with.

Pros

Flexible about working from home when it made sense for either employee or the company. Salary and vacation time were pretty good, and there were opportunities to move up with promotions. As a technology company they were open to embracing new technologies and moving with the tech industry.

Cons

Often opportunities for training were very limited. I think I only participated in one or two training classes in more than ten years.
