Pros

Unlimited PTO, very nice team mates and colleagues, remote work.

Cons

Listing all the downsides of working at Atlas would take quite some time. Basically if you are lucky enough to have a good manager, you can go on here for 1-2 years. Otherwise you'll just go crazy and leave. Salary is well below market rates, benefits are almost non existing. Thanks to the ego and countless bad decisions of the former CEO, the company is now struggling, putting increments and bonuses off the employees to risk for the second year in a row. The new CEO seems much better, but he will have a hard time cleaning up all this mess. Roles and responsibilities are not clear and there is major chaos on who needs to do what. Management is not considering changes recommended by the people, they only implement and listen to whatever suits them. Promises that cannot be made are made to customers constantly. Everything just looks and feels so amateur, but at least the company is very proud of themselves. Do yourself a favor and don't take the risk.

Pros

No pros, and this is true. Probably the only one is the flexible PTO but either way I can’t think in a pro for atlas HXM. Not even the team which is super sad

Cons

The company technology infrastructure and entire code was built by junior engineers, hired by executive team trying to build with less money expense, but this created an entire chaos In 2025 they hired an SVP, an engineer that hired a lot of contractors in order to fix it but they resigned as the company doesn’t think or care about people They make you work on weekends/holidays until 3 or 4am and they don’t care for people Executive and CTO only cares their job and not the team, so the hired a director just to protect themselves and it was pure bureaucracy and toxic people All technology team is super afraid and burned out but they are mostly folks from India which doesn’t want to loss their jobs so they yes to everything promoting toxic ideas like endless war room
