Pros

I think the salary was at market rate, although I get the impression that the salary is inconsistent across employees in the same role.

Cons

Think twice if you’re thinking of joining the WFO team at Five9 EMEA. Ignore all the hype and “great place to work” awards as you won’t experience a great culture, you will be left alone and dropped into projects as they’re desperate for resource. The UK WFO team is a silo and it’s going to take massive changes including a restructure, and a re-work of most processes to solve this. Expect to work weekends to deploy customer solutions, but no TOIL or overtime. Don’t expect any onboarding or training, if you get some it will be a bonus. You will get told it’s a family, it’s a start-up. Work is not a family (unless you run your own family business), and the start-up comments are just excuses for it being a mess. If you’re joining the sales team, I think you will be fine as they seem to have a great experience.

Pros

Not a single pro, this company is awful

Cons

- Leadership promotes their boys club buddies that severely lack leadership skills - The product sucks. It's nowhere near industry standard - The culture is HORRIBLE. Very much sink or swim, no support, zero engagement with other employees unless you suck up to them or are in the office - Mid Market "RVP" leaders are some of the worst Ive ever seen. If you dont go to them to appease their ego for every little thing, they will "manage" you out - SKO was the worst broke company efforts Ive ever seen. Shouldnt have had one, this company is embarrassing. The public speakers and corny jokes were the most cringe thing Ive ever witnessed, Ive never felt more demotivated in my life - Boys club culture to the fullest, if you dont stroke everyones ego, you're out Stay far away from this company. Go to a real CX/UC company. FIve9 is begging for acquisition and no one will take them. The system is old and ugly. Run from this org. Don't bother.
