Pros

The people are what make this company worth working for and I don't mean the executives. The company survives on the backs of the hard-working employees that take on more than should be expected. The benefits are still decent, however PTO was recently capped for all employees except those in California (due to a California law).

Cons

Where to begin...for starters the company recently went through a huge round of layoffs for the North American offices. If you're lucky enough to live/work in the Atlanta/Lawrenceville area there will be plenty of job openings and career opportunities in the near future. Due to these layoffs and rumors of future layoffs, the culture within the offices is non-existent. Employees used to be rewarded for their hard work with fun events, but those days are long-gone. Hard work is no longer rewarded or acknowledged, instead more work is piled on top of already overloaded teams, bringing down morale even more. Upper Management has been a constant revolving door for the past 12 months with key-players either leaving or being let go which leaves their teams with no clear direction moving forward. Departments often operate in vacuums with very little collaboration, so when I new idea or project comes down from "the mother ship" each department proceeds individually without thinking of the implications it might have on other departments. This in-turn causes delays for roll-outs and wastes a large amount of company money and employees valuable time. When someone does raise concern about a project, they are usually shot down with, "Well 'they' want it done, so we have to find a way." Management should want to make it easier for employees to do their jobs, not more difficult.

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.
