Pros

Co-workers in misery with you.

Cons

Everything, inflexible hours and management. Soul sucking practices (forcing metrics and call times above customer needs). Tracking your every move, micromanagement is a huge problem here.

Pros

- Work from home is nice, but now adays, work from home is pretty common

Cons

- Seems like the company pulls a total 180 every time a new executive is hired. I work in product management, and we have literally been spinning in circles for 5 years. - There's a definite move to hire 'product experts' directly out of college, likely to save money. While these folks are eager to please, they add little actual value to customers. The ones that are actually good leave for better jobs in 12-18 months. - Outsourcing most new positions to either Ireland or India, including analysis and product management. How does this benefit the US market? = Really bad benefits. Health insurance is complicated and poor. Benefits have significantly eroded over the past 5 years. - Limited to non-existent mobility - I'm making 3% more then I made 5 years ago. Not even at pace with inflation - With the latest sale to another equity firm, they have been squeezing employees particularly hard. I was on a team with 2 product managers and 5 analysts just 2 years ago, all based in the US. Now there is only an associate product manager in India, and zero analysts - with the same amount of work.

Thanks for sharing your perspective. We're very proud of the strength and stability of our company – and couldn't be more excited about the growth we're experiencing. From our new private equity owners (Blackstone & Vista) to new acquisitions (CampusLogic) to the evolution of our open SaaS platform – the common theme has been a focus on Growth and Innovation. Which is why it’s not surprising that over the last year our headcount has increased by 13% and 20+% of hires are through our internal mobility program. We know attracting and retaining the best and brightest talent in the market requires programming and experiences that reward and recognize our employees, while providing flexibility and growth. We encourage you to reach out to your HR business partner so we can better understand your concerns.
