Pros

Unlimited PTO, 45% match 401k, paid medical (although, as other posts state, there are reviews in the works to see which benefits will be changed or removed).

Cons

RTO was completely unnecessary. Executive management provided a chart showing production comparison from all of 2019 then June 2022-March 2023 with no data in between. What wasn’t mentioned in the data was 2019 was pre merger when both companies had their initial CEOs with the culture intact. It didn’t state if it was Kronos or Ultimate. June 2022-March 2023 was the time RTO was kicking off with most of the tenured employees with the most knowledge having already left or been let go from the company. There is no productivity comparison showing the time from March 2020-June 2022 when all employees were 100% remote. The current culture is “If you don’t like it, leave!” The response, as mentioned from the exec’s post of “Simply the best” is pretty much how upper management views employees: Either get used to a toxic environment or get out. Also what is not mentioned is there are several high level positions currently posted that are not only 100% remote, but paying between $150k-$225k. All while frontline reps are being forced to drive in 3 days a week for under the corporate standard wages to sometimes sit in isolation IF there are even desks available since some of the offices closed down. And jobs that do post are not guaranteed to even fulfill the position. With so many changes going on the interview process is usually halted due to the position being dissolved.

Pros

The company offers a convenient office location with plenty of nearby dining options and ample parking. The office environment is pleasant, with nice views that make in-office days more enjoyable. The hybrid work arrangement provides a good balance between collaboration and flexibility. Additionally, the organization has been supportive of using AI-powered development tools, which can help improve developer productivity and efficiency.

Cons

As a Senior Software Engineer, I found the company to have several challenges that made it difficult to be effective and grow professionally. The engineering culture can sometimes feel blame-oriented rather than focused on learning and continuous improvement. The software delivery process contains multiple layers of approvals and redundant steps, resulting in slow code promotion to production and reduced engineering velocity. Technical decisions made by senior leadership do not always align with modern engineering practices, which can make innovation and technology adoption more difficult. Recent organizational changes have also reduced the attractiveness of the benefits package. Additionally, bonus compensation is minimal and generally not a meaningful part of overall rewards. While there are talented colleagues and opportunities to work on large-scale systems, engineers who value fast execution, modern technology practices, and strong performance-based compensation may find the environment less appealing.
