Pros

Great values and benefits, friendly coworkers, nice office setup, remote-first culture

Cons

It was really hard to make progress, improve/ship our products, and add value for customers. There was a revolving door of product leadership and roadmaps were unclear and changed weekly. We went through several different re-orgs and everything felt disjointed while important decisions happened behind closed doors. Of the few years I worked here, we maybe shipped 4-5 things.

Pros

UT has an incredible culture of being kind, and they tend to have really smart, cool, and dedicated employees.

Cons

Management is reluctant to look in the mirror and self-reflect on their decisions. They tend to blame anyone but themselves for their lack of success. A very top-down approach to leadership, Yes men make the best managers. The platform is antiquated.

Pros

Below the VP level are some really good folks who see no siloes and will give you the shirt off their backs.

Cons

Lots of cons here. The C-level group are an amalgamation of nepotism and cronyism. Layoffs happened last year and I am sure they will happen again, very soon, in 2023. Guess who won't be let go? Yep...anyone at the C-level. To this day, I can still not tell you what about 4 or 5 of the "C's" actually do? But they all have each others backs so no worries on the gravy train coming to a stop. The UT board needs to break them up pronto. You could actually save the jobs of a couple dozen people who are the real reason UT sees any success at all by trimming up the fat on the C team. Thoma Bravo leaders should sit in on the revenue teams calls...CRO is a jingoistic quote machine that you'd usually find running the show at any given timeshare organization. Zero deep sales leadership skills or motivational capacity. Just someone else's quotes and sports analogies. No direction other than whatever way the wind blows at the moment. Product is ancient. Lots of lip service on R&D and improvements for which clients clamor but "It's on the roadmap" is the canned reply. Just so much stagnation and gaslighting. Favoritism is also rampant as some sales folks are allowed to have absolutely elitist attitudes to others across the org. Serious problem that crushes the morale of support teams. Get rid of your narcissistic AEs and take a step towards better morale.
