Pros

It was close to where I lived.

Cons

At 10 AM on a Tuesday 140 employees were pulled into a meeting where a pre-recorded message played that told us we were all being let go. The remaining employees were told that they were going to hire 300 people in Poland and India. I was a high performer, my team lead had nothing but good things to say about my performance. They weren't even consulted. Neither was their boss. Completely blindsided everyone who wasn't C-level. The software is antiquated. The pay is far below industry averages. The right hand has no idea what the left hand is doing. Never had any transparency as to what I would be working on further than a few weeks in advance. Benefits and perks constantly being stripped away with nothing to replace them. No cost of living raises. Performance raises are laughable. But they have a slide in lobby, so woo. Promotions are held over your head forever. Advancement is non-existant.

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.
