Pros

- Great solutions portfolio - Decent perks (profit sharing, sabbatical and extra days, after 5 years) - Onboarding programs, from new employees to managers - Internal promotions - Internal coaching program - Customer Success Org., before it got hit by the current restructuring...

Cons

- Roadblocks: Hyland is notoriously hard to do business with, internally and externally - Internal competition between Healthcare and Commercial orgs. - Lack of alignment between Renewals and Customer Success orgs. - Isolated Product Management: lack of customer-facing product material - Customer-driven initiatives come from the bottom up, rather than top down - Lack of vision/strategy around Alfresco and Nuxeo, after the takeover - Overall company vision/strategy unclear, at best - Poor execution (a consequence of the above?...) - +1,000 employees in 2022 v 1,000 removed in 2023: too much wasted talent - Silos: leadership promises eradication, thanks to 300 managers removal - Thoma Bravo calls the shots! Some leaders are disconnected and lacking empathy...

Pros

Work/life balance Great people to work with on daily basis Ability to work remote (US based) Plenty of development opportunities I've been given the tools I need to do my job and be innovative I have an amazing manager and team that I lead

Cons

I am restricted on where I can hire new employees right now. There are a lot of competing priorities with similar deadlines which can be stressful, but the days go by fast.

Pros

Remote or hybrid capability. Usually a flexible schedule.

Cons

Constant quiet firing. They've figured out how to avoid public disclosures quite well. Every month they're whacking batches of 20~30 employees - esp. if you were in a higher pay band or part of an acquired company. There's constant leadership churn as of late - not that leadership was ever that great, but the clownshow has more makeup on the pigs now. If you were part of an acquired company, the stench of nepotism was constant. Hyland doesn't provide legitimate training or certification assistance for everyone. Their products would fail any sort of security scan by an AI tool too. If you're a customer, buyer beware.
