Wonderful Team, Great Work/Life Balance, Limited Growth Opportunities.
May 11, 2022 - Senior Employee Relations SpecialistRecommendCEO ApprovalBusiness OutlookPros
Great HR team, loved working with professionals globally. Wonderful people all throughout, and I believe the leadership to be solid. Very responsible during COVID - didn't require return to the office in the 1.5 years I was there during COVID.
Cons
Large (several thousand employees), result of various M&A's, not necessarily a con but creates a lot of noise (for customers getting a segmented product, and employees lots of change management. Rather than being able to focus on developing your people and setting up efficient processes a lot of time and resources are spent integrating. Pretty standard at a larger org and I was looking for a smaller company. For the size it seemed like they could have been more agile. Long administrative processes for the size of the company.

Administrative processes very long to get anything approved.

Not a good place - bad leadership, low pay, very disorganized
Aug 11, 2022 - Account ExecutiveRecommendCEO ApprovalBusiness OutlookPros
it's nice to be able to work remotely
Cons
*Lowest pay in the industry *Leadership is very out of touch with the business, especially since the Global Knowledge merger *There is no transparency in terms of being able to validate commission , and since the merger many sales reps have left due to this issue *Middle management are not helpful and trying to make things better * Total chaos, it's been months and our accounts still have not been assigned correctly in SF.com and the new sales processes are extremely confusing and unclear

Pros
People Interesting domain Wfh Continuous learning
Cons
Relentless pace Management preaches work life balance but none exists
- Current Employee, more than 1 year★★★★★
Pros
Team of very professional engineers who are well versed in many aspects of development. Willingness to help when assistance is needed. Continuous learning opportunities across the tech stack.
Cons
Everyone is friendly, but as far as the company goes, it seems as though there is little ability to socialize. This is fine for me, but if you are seeking a team where everyone spends time together outside of work, etc. this is the one 'con' I would add.
