Pros

I can't think of one

Cons

Too many acquisitions in a very short period of time--20 in 2 years? Not enough time between acquisitions to bring everyone up to speed. Inferior health insurance. Most acquired employees lose over a year of bonus and/or raises. C-suite is a boys club--all male and friends from former companies. Newly acquired employees who can bring a lot to the table are discounted giving preference to older employees acquired previously. Permissive PTO is a joke. I had a solid 6 weeks of PTO prior to being acquired but haven't been able to take the 6 weeks since joining symplr. Employees hired either through a former acquisition or otherwise are condescending and unhelpful. Having to work up to 16 hours a day or work all weekend leaves ZERO work/life balance. CEO says talk to your manager if you are working too many hours. Yeah, right. Talk to your manger and she/he says "deal with it."

Pros

Unlimited PTO is offered and can be a valuable benefit for those who feel comfortable using it; though, consistently heavy workloads can make it challenging to take full advantage of the policy. There are frequent career opportunities due to high turnover in certain departments, which can create openings for employees looking to advance or move into new roles.

Cons

Within the last year or two leadership has operated in a top‑down manner, dictating priorities and timelines with limited input from the teams doing the work. When projects don’t go as planned, accountability is often pushed downward rather than shared. In recent years, the company has increasingly favored lower‑cost, less‑experienced hires, which has resulted in the loss of several senior employees and institutional knowledge.
