Pros

Lower level management, are mostly approachable. Other departments look to have a decent work/life balance.

Cons

- Very micro-managey, and only getting worse. - Pay is no where near market value, got a rise last year that was the 'one big market adjustment', that only brought us level with another company that was acquired by WPE. - Support are walked over, even though it's the majority of the workforce, and one of the main reasons why customers stay. - Very poor work life balance. - Upper management are clueless. - Used to have amazing benefits and perks. But most if not all non-industry standard have been taken away. - Getting in too many inexperienced contractors, that is causing a severe bottleneck in staff and any progression. - Often mislead or misinformed by management. - Could go on and on.

Pros

Lots of support from management. I always felt like I was heard. Plenty of support from my teammates. The CEO is an amazing person.

Cons

Customers only reach out because there are issues with their sites; causing them to be upset most of the time. Tough job if you are not used to remote work.
