Pros

Was a good job while it lasted, I enjoyed my work. I found it meaningful and am proud of my time and contributions to the company. Great team culture including the direct management and director. Access to learning and development platform, albeit little time to utilize (due to workloads) even though there was a 10% time to learn initiative. The health care benefits were average for the industry. I liked Cigna as my health insurance provider. Fidelity 401k Retirement Management is good. Matching is average. Vesting was changed to immediate vesting, which is very good. The tech platform, tools, processes, and code management were very good for the industry.

Cons

Wages: Lower wages than what is standard in the industry. Raises: Company raises were low and did not meet inflation. (2022 4%, 2023 1.9% , for reference this was at 100% performance goals). I got a 25% increase in salary after leaving this company to work somewhere else (comparable company). Cobra provider for 2024 changed to WEX (awful experience) Nepotism: Family members were hired and there were some political/favoritism issues in play causing conflicts in the organization. CTO had some personality conflicts with subordinates leading to the terminations of high-performing employees. 2023 - They have/are offshoring developer jobs to India.

Pros

I still get to work with the team I was acquired with (those who weren't unceremoniously canned at least).

Cons

-Insists on a hyper rigid corporate model, and it shows everywhere. In product development, leadership, HR. There's so much bureaucracy and rigidity in getting an answer to anything and all it means at the end of the day is that everyone you go to for help or clarification will pass the buck to the next guy. -Zero regard for employees as people. These people are cheap cheap cheap. It shows in salaries and benefits (worst US medical premium coverage I've ever seen), but also in subjecting employees to using terrible outdated tools, and in laying people off at a moment's notice with no regard for them or the workloads of those left behind. HR/People team where it seems like nobody knows what to do or how to help; everything is someone else's job. -It is a mess internally. It's a company made up of 20+ other products/brands, and nobody's talking to each other because nobody even can talk to each other. Everyone's on different systems, different payroll, different Slack, different Teams, two different versions of every policy, it's a joke. -It's depressing as hell watching them buy up other companies, fire half of them, and suck the soul out of those left behind. -I had a job I loved before we merged with Xplor. It's been less than a year here now and I cannot get out of here fast enough.
