Pros

The only good thing about working here was having a job with benefits.

Cons

Virtual but required to clock in and work shifts (at least some departments - others had flex time, others made own schedule, etc) so very unfair approach to time management and tracking. Expected to be available via instant message at all times - had to account for bathroom breaks! Expected to travel for team meetings but company unwilling to pay - you had to pay for your own travel (flights) and unless you wanted to share a room had to pay for your own lodging. Vacation time came from "pool" - no holidays covered. Had to supply your own computer. No reimbursement for any expenses.

Thank you for the review! There are a few inaccuracies here that we would be happy to clear up :). Customer Service has set shifts, as does Server Health. Why? Because those departments have set demand due to customer demand on support & server management. We can't do flexible hours in those departments like we do in other departments for that reason, there is no way we have found to do it any other way. If you have an idea on how this is possible please hit up our internal idea machine as we would love to try it. Our Customer Service team they work an 8 hour shift, and are given one 15 minute break and two 10 minute breaks. We are not crazy people, we of course let people go to the bathroom :). Our entire company works remote and we expect everyone to be on instant message and respond within a few seconds. This is a guideline and ensures that you are at your desk and available. We are also looking into offering an optional shift for customer service of an unpaid 30 minute lunch too. We have optional company events once a year in the USA and Europe and employees are in no way expected to come, it is only if they want too. They pay to get to the event and we pay for everything else. We make it a combination of a 2 day unconference + 1 day social event. We bunk people 2 to a room, as part of the social element to get to know each other and make this affordable/doable. Because we are a global company with team members in 18+ countries we group vacation, holidays, and sick days into one big pool and all our team members get to pick what days they take off. If you want to take your countries holiday's off do it :), if you want to save that day to use somewhere else do it. We give our team total control over that aspect, we want them to do it how they want. All our team members receive 20 days of paid time off per year, and this increases to 25 days off after 3 years. And, if you are manager you get that 25 days after just 1 year. We reimburse our team for any valid expenses. But, we expect our team to bring their own computer to work from and that is 100% clear during hiring. We would rather pay our team a higher salary and let them make those decisions over what they purchase. I hope that helps clear up some of the inaccuracies of this review!

Pros

- Good working environment as you will have the opportunity to work with the talented people all around the world. - Good Upper-Level Management Team, they care and they listen to you. - 20 paid days off/year increasing to 25 days once you have reached 3 years or being in the management position. - Working remotely

Cons

- Inflexible salary growth - if the salary is above the average for the position, it means a very small increase of the salary on yearly review. Less than the inflation rate can happen. - Too strong is not good, you will usually get assigned with tough works than others and rarely someone will be trained to help out. They will need to learn themselves or if they do not, you will be the one to be chosen all the way.

Working remotely with a great company is an ideal situation.

Pros

100% Remote, yet no issues with lack of communication between your coworkers or management thanks to internal communication systems. Awesome people that do what they love. Great outlooks for the future

Cons

Manpower for the less-peak days and hours of the day. Communication in regards to changes made in one department that others like front-line support would like to have been informed of, type situations.
