Pros

People. Some of the best people I have ever met in my life and will meet in my life are at Q2. CEO Matt Flake is one of the most authentic, genuine CEO's in the game. The world is your oyster here. Meaning you see a problem, great- it's now yours to fix which is excellent for gaining experience and building your resume. Very entrepreneurial spirit. Learning and development platforms and trainings are unmatched.

Cons

It has changed so incredibly much it's actually alarming and sad. The culture used to be one of encouragement, fun, and positivity and now it's only matched with discouragement, too much work, negativity, and disdain. There's not even enough time to have fun because you are so exhausted and tired all the time from working the job of 3 different people. HR also got rid of all bonus and RSU's for certain levels so you can't even get rewarded for working longer hours. A large portion of the jobs are moving to India and that's great and all - I have nothing against doing that - but the way in which and speed in which Q2 is doing it is painful and honestly not normal. The sr leadership team doesn't talk about the move to India or the layoffs happening except only to prove that this is good for "EBIDA" and "profitable growth". There needs to be a serious look at individuals who are leaders of Q2. There are cliques and behaviors that say 'if you don't do this then you can't sit with us' and it is quiet toxicity. I wish so badly this could have been a career for me but it took advantage of me, chewed me up and spit me out and then expected me to be okay along the way.

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.
