Pros

Great perks and benefits for employees in the office. Unlimited PTO is great.

Cons

Everything else. Much of what is going on here in terms of DEI is performative because the company has continued to see success without addressing their shortcomings in this area. There are many employees not engaged in DEI best practices, including leaders. No clear processes around pay and promotions leaves women of color underpaid and overworked with less opportunity for advancement. In my experience on two different teams there is no clear career path leaving many people feeling confused and hopeless. Check out the state of inclusion report; despite the many sessions and trainings we have internally, Black representation at the company has barely increased over the last couple of years. Head of DIB is a huge roadblock to progress. Additionally, transparency is one of the core values but you won’t find much of that here. There’s an illusion of transparency being important but many leaders shy away from answering tough questions or having honest, transparent conversations.

Pros

Good company benefits - private healthcare, employee stock purchase programme Annual sales kickoff

Cons

All calls & emails are now monitored. Graded & tracked on your calls. New requirement is now to have 50+ calls a month recorded in Gong (Gong was previously phased out but now a requirement). Pay rises are low, false promises each year of promotions & generous pay rises Team members favoured over others Work life balance now near on impossible with all the new asks put in place
