Pros

- Get to be an expert: All the other people that actually know what they are doing are leaving - Get to keep meeting new people: With the highest turnover rate in company history this year, they keep bringing on new people - Never be obsolete: The tech stack is so old and outdated you don't have to worry about keeping up with the industry - Don't have to worry about dissenting opinions in leadership: They fire anyone that isn't an instant 'Yes' man that falls in line - Don't have to deliver anything: Teams have been working for years on the same product with nothing to show - Even if you do deliver something, user's can't install it: Hyland IdP anyone? - Don't have to worry about work/life balance: With pay so low your second "gig" will keep you busy - Have core values like "Employees are our Family": And everyone is treated like a stepchild

Cons

- Constant reorgs show they have no idea what they're doing - Senior leadership is clueless and speaks in managerese to avoid showing how little they know - Senior leadership is unaffected when things go wrong instead of realizing they're the problem - Nepotism runs rampant - After 4 years of failing to "Go to Mars" that was supposed to be the cloud offering, they fire a bunch of people and outsource so we can now be "Cloud First" with a cloud offering - Pay is well below industry average. Expect to make 30-50% what you would make from other Cleveland area companies - Directors and AVPs have decided to make product decisions instead of leaving it up to PMs/POs

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.
