Pros

The actual grunt workers are the only people keeping this company together.

Cons

Management, lack of HR to support employees, and lack of direction. The Management in many of the departments but especially IT are severely lacking. They would hire from outside the company, hiring management that had no skill in that management and no experience in that department. Employees who excel at their positions and talents are constantly ignored and not treated well. Just a warm body filling the position is all you will be good for. Do not dare having a difference in opinion or valid reason for the different opinion. Disgusting treatment of good strong employees! Human Resources that don't back employees but the agenda of management and the good ole boys club mentality.

Pros

was hired as remote and get to have that honored, but have been openly told no career progression because of remote status. decent pay

Cons

Leadership instability: Seven manager changes during my relatively short tenure. Unrealistic targets: A sales quota set at 1,100% growth (not a typo). Slow product development: Getting anything actioned on the product side takes far too long. Product management turnover: Three product manager changes, resulting in no meaningful deliverables in over three years. Misaligned hiring priorities: Greater emphasis on DEI optics than on hiring people positioned to drive growth. Internal vs. customer focus: More energy spent on internal events than on product enhancements. Lack of accountability (the biggest issue): No one takes ownership. Responsibility gets passed around constantly — for example, client cancellations going unprocessed because they impact someone's numbers. Managers have openly encouraged pushing the work onto someone else rather than handling it.
