      Pros

      The employees, your general workers, are generally nice, hard-working people who genuinely care and want to do a good job.

      Cons

      The culture of the company is significantly lacking professionalism and general values which make it a difficult environment to work in. The leadership, management and executives, lack a firm understanding of treating employees well and valuing the work that employees do each day. Promotions are offered to those "in the club", think high school clique. Poor behavior towards employees by managers is tolerated and overlooked regularly. The technology and resources are fairly antiquated and getting any supplies in order to do your job is an undertaking in itself.

      Tough gig for engineering

      Pros

      Awesome spirit committee and programming events to help engage employees, including ropes courses, charity races, and cook off competitions. New headquarters are nice. Really talented and inspiring people within those walls.

      Cons

      The amount of technical debt on their books is only outdone by the sunk costs related to their acquisition of products, making it more of a clean up on aisle six job for technical talent, and not enough actual engineering of solutions for problems. Little of the code is written by anyone in the company and even less is documented. This is all further complicated by ineffective QA management where any small change might result in disaster, making teams too cautious to fix the most obvious issues. The success of the software more greatly reflects the performance by outside contractors, which outnumber the internal staff, making it all frustrating to watch, since this will greatly influence internal job performance scores.

Thank you again for your feedback. Best, Nicole

      The work is interesting and professional, but the management is very poor.

      Pros

      If you need experience in the field of payroll software, you can get it there if you can handle the insanity of the bureaucracy.

      Cons

      The management is so out of the norm when dealing with people that even when explicitely told what they are doing wrong in plain English, they don't get it. They treat software professionals like factory widget makers, plus they waste a lot of time and money making sure they don't waste time and money. They DO NOT promote from within the company. They think that magic comes from hiring somebody who has likely failed somewhere else. The turnover is ridiculous for a software company.
