Pros

Pays more than minimum wage.

Cons

-Poor wages; does not allow pay raises equal to cost of living increases. I personally have not been able to pay for my degree with the job I've had at Hyland for several years. -QA work does not utilize the skills of the workers that management requires for job entry -Management is engrossed in the American anti-intellectual movement -Management has dogmatic views that are only based on correlation -Management does not adhere to its own culture and values -Management values itself and does not value their technical employees in QA -Workers that want to improve Hylands software practices are dismissed from the job -One of the "core values" of Hyland is to provide software that allows users to get away from less meaningful, repetitive tasks. However internally, especially in QA, non-meaningful, repetitive work is pushed onto the technical staff to handle and is not allowed to use any widely used tools in the software industry to alleviate repetitive work. This makes workers fatigued and less effective. -Management will use underhanded tactics like shaming, stating that "the amenities are part of the benefits package" which having a diner, volleyball court, arcade games, free coffee/drinks, etc. are nice but should not be used against an employee that is barely able to pay for their basic needs. Management also follows up with "we allow you to work overtime as a pay raise".

Pros

Work/life balance Great people to work with on daily basis Ability to work remote (US based) Plenty of development opportunities I've been given the tools I need to do my job and be innovative I have an amazing manager and team that I lead

Cons

I am restricted on where I can hire new employees right now. There are a lot of competing priorities with similar deadlines which can be stressful, but the days go by fast.

Pros

Remote or hybrid capability. Usually a flexible schedule.

Cons

Constant quiet firing. They've figured out how to avoid public disclosures quite well. Every month they're whacking batches of 20~30 employees - esp. if you were in a higher pay band or part of an acquired company. There's constant leadership churn as of late - not that leadership was ever that great, but the clownshow has more makeup on the pigs now. If you were part of an acquired company, the stench of nepotism was constant. Hyland doesn't provide legitimate training or certification assistance for everyone. Their products would fail any sort of security scan by an AI tool too. If you're a customer, buyer beware.
