Pros

Unlimited PTO, great benefits all around

Cons

Micro-managing is coming around wave 2. Management is horrible! No room for advancement or growth. Zero professional development. There is a capital company that owns Vanco and is clearly trying to sell, however, they are losing customers and are not signing up a lot of new churches either. For being a company that serves the faith based organizations, this company does not have accountability, integrity, or values. Commission plan was described one way and yet there are monthly product sales "budgets". If you are in sales, I advise staying away from this company as you will be told they will "take care of you" and yet never put it in writing or do what they said they would.

A lot of empty talk; mediocre experience

Pros

Good employee health plans (but very expensive if you have dependents), stocked snacks, reasonable PTO - about standard for tech industry (20 days, but it doesn't accrue and isn't paid out if you leave), lot of potential in product space.

Cons

Company gives a lot of air time to their focus on culture, but doesn't follow through. Developers - across teams, including on Greenfield projects - are very frustrated and feel they do not have a voice in the organization or freedom to capitalize on opportunities. Product vision continually changes without follow through. Training is difficult to access and poorly managed. Feedback is non-existent. Management has been promising that a career ladder for tech will be made public soon for a year and a half (!) with no progress. Existing staff have taken on increasing responsibility without raises or promotion, while leadership roles remain empty for *very* long stretches. Even things that seem like minor concessions (e.g. a quiet workspace) are denied. Talented coworkers who are still around from before the acquisition and mergers are mostly actively seeking outside positions with plans of leaving soon. Leadership knows their is a morale problem, asks for feedback, but then doesn't listen and moans to themselves that they can't understand why employee satisfaction ratings are so low.

Pros

New management has only been in place for a few months

Cons

Company has had 3 CEOs in a year along with 4 CIOs. No real direction. Everything is moving to Minnesota. When is the Atlanta office going to close
