Pros

If you are fortunate and have a good manager it is a reasonable place to work. If you have a poor manager it's a nightmare. With a lot of growth has come many new managers, many of them are poor. The good reviews reflect the company a decade ago. It was amazing then. Today, if you have the good boss, it's like working for any other publicly traded software place, nothing special and ok pay. If you have a bad boss you will suffer alone.

Cons

Middle and upper management layers appear to lack oversight. Bad managers abound and even if their entire team quits and has to be replaced, they seem to stay on forever or are promoted. Teams are heavily siloed. Majority of workers are remote, which allows the more tyrannical ones to torture people on their team at their whimsy. Don't go to HR for help, they will not support you.

Pros

Great benefits; 90% of the ppl that worked there were the best and really did great work.

Cons

Made employees choose between having MLK Day off or Juneteenth- both which are federally recognized holidays. Excuse was that our customers are open on those days so we need to be open. So as a company, we had to pick which would be a paid holiday and everyone chose Juneteenth because it was in the summer. I think we got a floating holiday to use for any other holiday we wanted off that wasn’t recognized by the company. As you can imagine, this racism was prevalent in management/leadership. My team was the most diverse team and we all got restructured/laid off. There’s a lot of ego and control issues in this company, especially in Talent Acquisition.
