Pros

They have a relatively clean code base, based on a major PHP framework.

Cons

The corporate politics was absolutely lethal. I saw great devs PIPed and fired for no reason, especially the PHP docker expert. No one would allow him to fix the existing, and broken, Docker dev environment and then when he did massive work for PHP 8, they let him go, because he was saying how the Google Cloud migration would cost way too money. Six months later, I was laid off because, well, the migration to Google Cloud busted the budget just as that guy had warned us all, and OvationCXM had a mass layoff, me included. We should have listened to him more and not the new CTO.

Pros

Great job to start and get your foot in the door for technical support job Learn about some networking and you learn troubleshooting steps. Also, learn how to use a ticketing system. You work remotely which is a plus.

Cons

No set level of expectations. There are favorites. People can do what they want at the expense of their other coworkers. Nothing is done to people that have multiple offenses. They are not able to reward employee that actually do a great job and reward people who don't care to be there just want the paycheck. They also base their metrics on quantity and not quality which end turn ends up with people having to call in multiple times and leads to frustrations with the clients.
