Pros

- Flexible with time off - Bonuses based on revenue - Employer contribution to HSA - DEI friendly

Cons

- Raises do not keep up with inflation - Frequent layoffs - Outsourcing work overseas - Spends more on acquisitions instead of employee retention - Utilizes Inspire & Celebrate program but does not allow monetary celebrations - Donuts and Pizza budget should be reallocated to employee pay - Advertises a role at $20/hr - $27/hr. And with 4 years of experience on the team, and an extensive background making a person overqualified for the role, offering $21/hr - No salary negotiations. You get what you get. - With multiple rounds of layoffs, career growth is almost impossible

Pros

- Good work/life balance - Decent benefits - Competitive pay (though it is trending toward the lower end) - Remote work

Cons

- Cares more about shareholders and quarterly share value than employees or customers. - Somehow the company micromanages employees while also being extremely disorganized. - Constant management shuffling leads to frequent changes in policy and procedure causing instability and arbitrary new rules. - Too many middle-managers. - Upper-Management is too far removed from workers. They continually make changes that negatively impact the employee and customer experience. - The company grew too quickly and is extremely disorganized. - CEO Melissa Smith is very likable and used to care about her workforce. Something changed over the last few years and upper management has completely lost touch with the rank-and-file. - WEX is too focused on quarterly shares that they have forgotten to provide quality services. - Outsourcing jobs, a move to AI, and focus on quarterly earnings means regular rounds of layoffs. - Technology that used to be cutting edge is now lagging behind competitors. - Employee morale has completely tanked, customers on legacy platforms are leaving in droves, and the company seems to be headed toward a death-spiral in which investors and upper-management strip the company for parts.

Pros

Decent pay and benefits, WFH, and I really liked most of the people I worked with. They're at least still pretending to be interested in DEI and ERGs.

Cons

The most top-heavy company that I've ever worked for and I have been at some very large corporations in my career. Seriously overloaded with middle management and managers. They're trying to grow through stock buybacks and layoffs, which isn't a strategy. A new SVP came in and he thinks you can develop software without BAs or QAs, and laid them all off. Good luck with that, muchacho. He also is bringing in his cronies so nepotism is only worsening. If you are a developer, I hope you are also a paleontologist because their code base PREDATES THE DINOSAURS!!!! Be warned!
