Pros

Historically Q2 has had a great culture. * opinion matters * cultural events * good pay and benefits

Cons

Current state * heavy focus on AI * offshore to India * continued investment in DEI * leadership doesn't cut you lose early before holidays e.g. 4th of July * depending on your role, weekend work for go lives with no comp time * Co workers, by way of the 2x a year peer review are encouraged to list where you need to be improve * seems impossible to break out of a negative, even if unfounded comment about you * 50 mile RTO office radius * because opinions matter the company seems to be disjointed as leaders historically forged their own path * declining stock price * want to move outside of the 50 mile radius? Get a new job. * company is using RTO to have people voluntarily attrite * heavy focus on liberal DEI

Pros

Great company overall * Leaders communicate the business strategies and successes regularly * Benefits + compensation are great/competitive * Training is fantastic and always available * Innovation is always encouraged * Great fintech company * Tons of activities for inclusion for onsite workers

Cons

* Tech stacks are kind of all over the place - various cloud solutions in place with high cost usage. This is not all that bizarre when a company like Q2 acquires a startup and their very specific software stack.

Pros

Pay (salary + bonus + equity) was ok

Cons

HRBPs are sinking the ship. They are making business decisions, hiring/firing decisions for the business units. They sit on interview panels just to ask some behavioral questions that any of the other interviewers could ask. They inconsistently apply extreme policies (not even talking about the RTO). The company says they want to grow to be a billion dollar company. No company has ever done it with HR policies. I've been at companies a tenth of the size and trillion dollar companies. None have had the HR policies that Q2 has. The business model is also not sustainable. The number of financial institutions in the US has been shrinking for 20+ years. And once the local banks get scooped up by the JP Morgan Chases, they'll be using the Chase mobile app, not Q2's software.
