Pros

The many genuine, considerate people at middle management and below.

Cons

Leadership decisions in past 2 years: - Communicated there would be no redundancies, before then implementing them - 2 years of anti-meritocracy in EoY attainments, treating the high achievers as average and lowering their pay & promotion opportunities as a result. - Forcing accountability onto employees by downgrading EoY performance to avoid taking accountability that cost-cutting measures were required - Minimal to no internal travel with all budgets cut - Significant reduction in 2024 annual compensation reviews - Complete removal of 2025 annual compensation reviews - Consistent lack of transparency and leadership accountability. Always communicating negatives via email and positives via Town Halls, avoiding negative questions like second-rate politicians - Incompetently delivered and communicated Return To Office policy that marginalized and upset employees without provable business rationale - Updating of 100s of remote contracts to in-office without consultation, causing many to leave their roles or face disciplinary actions due to prior commitments to child/elderly care - Failure to increase wage brackets with inflation and market drivers - likely to act as an opaque cost-cutting measure - Last-minute reduction of stock grants due to apparent contract clause in all grant agreements - Secret all-expenses paid holidays for leadership and spouses, while implementing 'cost-cutting' for employees

Pros

The company was fantastic when I first started working there, the culture was embracing and supportive. Folks seem to care about your development at first and your growth.

Cons

After 3ds bought the company it started going downhill gradually, many c suite turnover, terminations and new latest CEO is clueless when it comes to executing the vision, while also making sure they continue delivering on NEXT all on all these features when at launch half of them don’t even work properly. Having spent years at the company I saw clients lose trust on the products and leadership, a lot of times CEO’s from client side would give advice on senior management on processes which being the vendor we should be the leaders on guidance not the other way around. Consider applying to other SaaS companies.
