Pros

Good benefits, good direct managers depending on the team, and good PTO policies.

Cons

Leadership is increasingly combative, and choosing not to measure burnout effectively, yet making it more pervasive with intensifying workloads due to AI usage. Forced return to office where it doesn’t make a lot of sense. Glorifying the sales team without focusing enough on foundational tech improvements. Growing too fast through acquisitions without clear plans for sharing standards between systems. Purchasing new services and products takes an enormous amount of work when all teams including those responsible for department budgets agree the purchase is necessary. Engineering teams feel forgotten in most company updates, and focus is almost entirely on the sales team, when half the company is engineering.

Pros

Good pay and benefits Flexible PTO RSU's

Cons

Company morale is low. The other recent reviews stating this are extremely accurate. Company culture has eroded and the company values don't seem to matter anymore. 'Winning Right' has become lip service. Senior leadership refuses to address the problems many departments are having with headcount and workload. They don't really care about the customer experience. RTO makes no sense when most of your team remains remote in the same role, a role in which you spend much of the time on calls with customers and meeting with other team members virtually. Not enough staff to support the RMS customer base and ticket counts have ballooned.
