Pros

If you need a foot in the door you can often get hired on potential and get the first title for your resume.

Cons

**Yes, I'm bitter. No, I wasn't fired.** They say executives are more likely to be psychopaths- Solera is a case study. Leadership is pompous and cruel. They are verbally abusive to managers, consider the phrase "work life balance" a curse, and expect the same buy in from their support staff making 60k as leaders at 3mil. I was hired during a time of "cultural transformation" but since my first few months were up things have only gotten worse and worse. No thought put into culture, and any HR staff that would be interested in working on this is far too overworked from understaffing. Good luck even getting a question answered at this point. They will lowball salary for "potential for growth"- this growth will only come in your workload and responsibilities, even if you get the title bump a year late your salary raise will still be well below market for the job you've been "proving you can take on." There is no trust in employees, and you will be reprimanded for slightly low hours spent on your computer (activity is tracked by spyware) even when you are exceeding your metrics. Everyone is tired and frustrated. Most companies will sometimes give a nod to employee interest, if for nothing more than reputation and press- Solera has no such concern. They are focused only on short term financial indicators for their investors and will squeeze a penny from or screw over their employees at any opportunity. Salaries are often undercut with the promise of bonuses/commission/incentive but these policies are usually unclear and Solera frequently fails to hold up their end of the deal. Pretty sure they're at least 6 months out from annual reviews and performance bonuses haven't been paid out. "Diversity initiatives" and development programs like WINS (Women in Solera) are talked up as their commitment to DEI but are invite only (sorority style), with no clear policy of how candidates are chosen, employees aren't even told when recruitment is happening.

Pros

Company potential, free lunch, starting pay

Cons

People are miserable. Think of the most uninspiring and thankless environment…then multiply that by 100. Sr leadership rules by fear. Don’t expect any time off. Company can’t pay bills, and the good people leave all the time. You will burn out in less than 6 months. Woman who runs the company will tell you daily what a piece of crap you are. Run away from this company like you are on fire.

Pros

free coffee and water to stay productive

Cons

- awful reputation in the market with customers (ask if you can speak to a happy customer during the interview process) - leaders at the C-Level are only focused on exiting and making a payout as the company is flipped in either a public sale or a foolish new owner - no stock or equity for employees except for the upper management (ask about stock in the interview process you wont get any its all tucked upstairs with senior leaders) - keystroke monitoring software to make sure you are working - CEO never speaks to employees on a regular basis unless its to tell them they're lousy, unproductive, and should get other jobs if they can't hack the work - product organization has been gutted and theres no one to work on products - integration with other recent companies is a mess and customers are confused as are internal employees - raises and promotions consist of minimal 5-10% increases in base pay and most increases in the commission bonus side of your pay so it can be subject to hold, non-payment, or you simply wont hit the high targets - bonuses haven't been paid from last year for all employees and its september - i simply can't keep writing all the negatives there's too many
