Pros
- 100% remote, no pressure to RTO even after the pandemic situation subsides
- Amazing colleagues who are always happy to help, manager genuinely cares about your progress and growth
- Solid WLB, never had to work past 9-5, able to offset extra minutes/hours worked by coming in late/leaving early the next day
- Great benefits, 20 days PTO, WFH equipment stipend, medical/dental, quarterly mental health day which adds up to 4 extra days off per year
Cons
- Ambiguous career path and promotion track. While working towards and justifying promotion/salary raise, I couldn't get a clear definition of what comprises achievements that are beyond my role as goalposts shift so often. No clear answer either when I asked for quantifiable goals.
- Management has hyped up Thoma Bravo acquisition to be super-amazing but rank and file staff are clearly not the ones benefitting from this. Empty positions in my team are not being backfilled and workload/responsibilities are increasing but comp stays the same.
- Comp is not competitive anymore and salary reviews are ambiguous post TB-acquisition.
- C-Suite is not transparent
