      Pros

      Employees can work from home. Consultative experience looks good on a resume for your next job Exposure to a variety of technologies This place used to be great. It was a small company that valued the talent and dedication of their workforce. It invested in the growth of its employees. This all changed around the time it was sold from Sverica to Quad-C (both private equity firms). The change in ownership seemed to coincide with the company losing all of its culture and becoming just another tech firm. Pay is better for people entering than for those who had been with the company for a while. I worked hard to get a few promotions during my time there, and was surprised to find that the entry-level position I started with had higher pay than what I was making at the time I exited.

      Cons

      Overtime culture Low morale Their "Unlimited" PTO policy without any minimums (you can Google why this not a good thing) Leadership will flaunt growing revenue in company calls while turning their noses up to any meaningful cost-of-living adjustments in response to inflation I would have loved to have provided my feedback to HR, but there was no exit interview, just an online survey.

      Pros

      The people are some of the best and like family. We care a lot about our teams and our customers. There are good leaders here but it has just become too hard for us to lead the way they want to.

      Cons

      Executive Leadership, especially the CEO. The culture has changed a lot since he replaced the former CEO. He does not operate with the same values that have been a part of the company ever since I got here. He rules by fear, control, micromanagement, and is unapproachable. You can see it in meetings with the business and even in our Company meetings. It is uncomfortable. He has started only bringing people in from his former network and they are bringing in their friends. Everything is India focused and North America people are losing their jobs and those that are left are burned out from the excessive workload. We are watching good employees leave either on their own or because they are forced out. The optics of who is leaving and why are not good. I want this to work but it feels like a sinking ship at this point. Our customers aren't even happy with us anymore and that makes our jobs even harder.
