Pros

Pay is decent, annual bonus, some of the people are very good

Cons

Painfully outdated technology that makes it impossible to do your job at times. Senior Leadership Team's recent 'announcement' that all colleagues must be in the office at least 3 days per week (despite knowing that offices aren't big enough to accommodate everyone). Internal processes are poorly managed. Stream of constant changes made difficult by poor communication between teams.

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.
