Decent pay and benefits, constant fear of layoffs.

Anonymous employee

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Great benefits Decent pay Cafeteria with local restaurants providing a diverse range of options Nice campus albeit the typical walls of gray line the floors where employees cubicles are located

Cons

Constant layoffs creates stress for employees Corporate structure is constantly changing, leadership changes frequently Constant leadership changes means having to deal with differing expectations which makes it difficult for seasoned employees to understand the end goal. Company seems more concerned with stock prices than actually improving the software or creating a productive environment for employees. Sometimes hostile towards employees Currently there are no growth opportunities so if you are not satisfied with your role or salary, you will likely have to look for a different company to work at.

As the business evolves, some things will change but our expectations and goals stay clear. Leaders are responsible for communicating those standards directly and we continue to invest in training and development opportunities. We encourage you to share your feedback with your leader.
