Q2 Software Implementation Engineer reviews

Where do I start?? First, the nepotism is like nothing I have ever seen in my entire career, and it is a detriment to the organization. They tout on culture and how great it is, but, it’s bad. REALLY BAD. I have witnessed so much unprofessionalism, microaggressions, and lack of integrity by senior leaders. I have been in companywide meetings where senior leaders curse like sailors which is so uncomfortable for people and it does not create a culture of inclusivity. Another troubling sign is that Q2 has VERY LITTLE diversity in leadership and don't care to do anything to attract, hire, promote or retain the ones that they do have. If you are a minority or a woman, you will not have a thriving career here, so do yourself a favor and go to an organization that cares about DEI. Lastly, the amount of turnover is INSANE. I have been here just under 1 year and have seen on average 2-3 people leave per month just in my function alone. That's a lot for a small company. Someone being here for 2 years is a HUGE deal which is sad because the company is 17 years old. Anytime you see large churn like this is a serious RED FLAG and boy does this place have tons. I had a feeling when I was interviewing, that this was not a great place, and it proved to be true. Working here has taught me to trust my gut. When something doesn't feel right, it usually isn't.

I saw a review that says “change brings opportunity to those who embrace it.” This equates to “sit down and shut up” at Q2, especially if you’re an intelligent, hard working woman with many, many years of this squirrelly software under your belt. The numbers of opportunities these folks have murdered, internally, is absurd. You can’t just hire hot-shot dummies from Seattle and think it’s OK, with this software. They fire managers on a whim, ruining your whole 3-year plan for that move, over and over and over again. They hire management from out of state with no regard for the teams they are affecting. Those “managers” obviously don’t work out, and they just rinse and repeat. Multiple employee teams, together, taking about urgent and necessary changes, got eliminated one by one. Management is not really a thing that is handled properly here. Part of the definition of management is providing your employees with the tools and resources that they need to do their job efficiently - I’ve experienced this exactly twice at Q2 and both of those stellar managers were promptly fired. Whomever is in charge (9 layers now) is doing it wrong.
