Pros

Gets you a few years on your CV to move elsewhere Makes you a hard worker App Teams are nice people Starting salary is good.

Cons

End up becoming a knowledge base for legacy software rather than a good software developer. Pay is done on years with the company and not on Title/Level/Compentancy, leading to one Senior developer who has the same amount of experience but was in support being on double the person straight becoming a software developer. The corporate side is a mess and your life is very dependant on how your team leads/product owner can cushion the rubbish that goes on. Sales sell things that we dont have and then we get pressured to get it out before a deadline pulled out of thin air and then people get told off when they are just a developer, fortunately the head of Apps and CTO is pretty switched on. The CEO wants to sell the business, has no vision and is just money hungry doesn't show real leadership and should realise you cant be a backseat CEO. Your salary will not progress and they act as if you are family but then wont negotiate a higher salary leading to good software developers jumping ship and surviving on juniors or seniors who only know legacy code.

Pros

Our #1 ranked CSAT and 99.999% platform SLA gets a lot of attention. While we are newer to the US market, our experience globally is very apparent to people who are discovering us.

Cons

Lack of market awareness is challenging at times, but that's the same for any newer brand trying to break into a new region. We are making progress every day and the CCaaS space is starting to notice.

Pros

Good pay (slightly above market)

Cons

- Culture is toxic and overly critical. Management tends to micromanage and fixate on minor issues, while providing little training and expecting you to figure things out on your own. There’s very little support, and the constant scrutiny makes it hard to do your job confidently. - Collaboration is honestly a joke. Coworkers are often reluctant to take ownership of their responsibilities and tend to casually give attitude when you ask them to follow through. Basic teamwork sometimes feels like a challenge. - Feedback is mostly focused on mistakes, with little recognition when you actually do well, which makes it hard to feel valued. Overall, expectations feel inconsistent, and it often seems like no matter what you do, it’s never enough. It’s the kind of environment where morale stays low and people are more focused on avoiding blame than actually doing good work.
