Pros

I am so happy to have such wonderful colleagues. They really make the sting from everything else less painful. In addition, the aims of the products are noble.

Cons

This place has gone downhill so quickly it is hard to fathom. When I started, I was proud to work here. I was amazed at the folks committed to the mission, the products we had, and the customer satisfaction we provided. This has all ceased to exist. Every facet of the company is completely understaffed. The folks at the top do not seem to understand that when you spread yourself too thin, cut costs, and cut people, things will not run the way they used to. And the worst part is, no one seems to care. Things are no longer working as they should– things clients pay good money for. Staff are being laid off, and new hires come from overseas. We are constantly being gas-lit for how well our company is doing and how we are on the cutting edge of technology. This could not be further from the truth. It is disingenuous to tout how great everything we provide is when mission-critical gaps plague the work we provide the clients– and upper management refuses to restaff or reallocate work to appropriately address them.

Pros

They provide you with a laptop.

Cons

Most people here couldn’t sell a burger at Burger King. Management is clueless and unqualified (a six grade classroom could lead better). Hard to find anyone to look up to and aspire to be like. Company is struggling (a lot) and it shows. Pay is a lot less than competitors. Didn’t always receive pay on time. Constant change and people leaving (entire departments and positions left unstaffed). Say they promote internally, but I only saw one or two people receive a promotion (and both struggled in their new roles). Quota is impossible to hit and no-one does, yet they don’t adjust it (less $ they have to pay their employees). Makes you feel disposable (even though it’s the product being sold that’s unpopular): easier to PIP, fire, and rehire. Unprofessional: most of the AE’s wear graphic tees on Zoom calls with customers. Office is falling apart and empty (about to be leased out). Internet stinks. Awkward work environment (feels uncomfortable and fake, like you’re in grade school). No connections. Stressed leaving two weeks notice, then told employees they had only a few days left once trying to put in their notice and do the right thing (struggling financially=can’t pay final two weeks). Anyone talented here leaves pretty quick.
