Pros

A company trying to make a difference for workers in the service and support industries.

Cons

The CEO clearly has many skills but leading a company is not one of them. He is only capable of facilitating sales and business development, and therefore knows how to sell but not deliver. People are hired to manage delivery and build the product, but they are not given the support to do so. Beyond this, the company has some very big challenges to overcome, and it does not look like they can be overcome with the current leadership team. I just learned (2/8/16) that they have had another mass layoff (~50% of head count). There was a similar mass layoff when I was there and that was apparently the second since the inception of the company. Clearly a bad, bad sign.

Pros

Decent pay for some. Good co workers.

Cons

Extremely cliquey. Unethical. Not up to industry standards in pretty much any area. This company is about profits only and does not have any real values it stands behind. As others have mentioned, it’s smoke and mirrors on the culture aspect, and people are often overworked and under compensated as well as thrown under the bus to cover up higher ups failures. A huge portion of the tech team is offshore and even though they were originally the crew that built the company, they are treated and paid sub par. They are not actually offered any path for growth or promotion. The offshore tech team has asked for fair treatment many times and have been shut down and ignored. Leadership is completely disengaged from the actual teams and what it takes to have a reliable, safe and well thought out product. The comments in response to negative reviews are a slap in the face to the MANY employees who have been mis treated and ignored by leadership and HR. This company is not only unpleasant but vagrantly breaks federal protections for workers and discriminates to the point of causing severe actual harm to employees on a daily basis. If you work here be prepared to be wasting your time growth wise, going in circles based on leaderships shifting and careless whims, and do not by any means have any backbone or standards for ethical treatment of humans or you will be targeted.
