Pros

- Many opportunities to work on and lead cross-functional projects. - Company moves quickly and decisively. - Innovative environment and products. - Competitive compensation and benefits, like flexible PTO. - The people here are definitely the highlight!

Cons

- Growing pains in some teams and departments. - Work / Life balance can be improved. - Culture and employee engagement should be developed more.

Pros

8x8's technologies allow me to work anywhere in the world. I have access to my team, management, and documents no matter where I am at. The tools and software that 8x8 uses are very up-to-date. 8x8 is a Google shop so everything you need is on the cloud. I work out of Minneapolis, we have a very beautiful office in downtown Minneapolis. Teams are very supported. Great cross-team/department collaboration. Good onboarding experience. A lot of company and product resources. Dev team is responsive to customer needs. The product suite is constantly being updated and refined to meet customer needs. Management allows flexibility and understands work-life balance. I do leadership taking the steps and effort to make changes. Overall I'm a fairly happy employee and foresee myself working here for many more years.

Cons

Cases/tickets can fall through the cracks. You do have to be diligent and follow up. Health benefits are good but not the best. Our internal and customer knowledge base is good but can use a facelift (better search capabilities and updated articles). Our support is the biggest complaint from our customers, and needs to be revamped.

Pros

Good product. Few exceptional leaders. Visionary CEO.

Cons

No work life balance. You are expected to work over the weekdays and weekends 24x7. Overburdened and constantly lose focus with messages from other colleagues and rooms. With the new work from home policy, we are expected to be available whole day, even during lunch hours. Micromanaged by different PMs, managers and other leaders. Work continues through the night to support endless releases and still have to report back again at 8 AM in the morning.

Pros

Company is going through transformation, it is good time to join. Lot of opportunity to grow with the company.

Cons

Company is going through rapid growth, it will have growing pain and might be less of work life balance. Benefits are normal compared to other companies.

Pros

Competitive pay, great work life balance, amazing culture

Cons

Not many processes but this can be a pro because they are open to change and improvement
