Pros

The benefits are excellent, and managers treat you as a human being

Cons

This is the most dull and numbing job of my career. Boring, uninspiring, and absolutely meaningless. Your work is constantly interrupted by the necessity to play the Workday game: needless meetings, grooming, story points, work to talk about the way we work, retros over retros, public display of pats-over-shoulders, and so on. You feel like your actual work has no meaning.

Pros

Great culture at the peer to peer level. Excellent learning opportunities, good benefits and great name for resume.

Cons

Pretend to be transparent but a lot of smoke & mirrors. Significant cuts to comp plans & commissions that resulted in challenging pay cuts. While salaries were not reduced the OTE is no longer achievable and it’s a difference of thousands monthly, can’t even sell stock because it’s tanked. That being said, we’re disappointed in comp and stock but grateful to be employed because It’s no longer a matter of if you’ll be laid off but when.
