Pros
There were some nice and hardworking people here, however they have laid off most of them. Pay was decent.
Cons
Where do I even begin? I was lied to throughout the interview process--about success of the company/product, client base, work-life balance...The list goes on. Why even promote that you do "No Meeting Wednesdays" when it's not true in the slightest? I worked more here than I have anywhere else in my entire career. You will get slacks/emails on the weekends and late evenings. I never got to use any of my "unlimited" PTO. The work life balance is the opposite of what they make it out to be. Job isn't secure, they've had 4 rounds of layoffs in the last year (maybe more, who knows) and likely more to come. They get rid of the employees who actually work, but hold onto higher level members who have no idea what they're doing. But they'll be put into new managerial or c-suite position despite having no experience in that function because they know someone. Result? A top heavy company that is completely unorganized, spinning its wheels. The solution offerings are a disaster. Software hasn't had significant improvements for a while and is prone to bugs. Fund Administration grew too quickly and several clients are unhappy/leaving over false promises. Accountants are completely burnt out so they're more prone to making mistakes or leaving. There's no other way to describe it than a mess quite frankly. Instead of listening/implementing employee feedback, they continue the same cycle laying people off while they continue to coordinate pricy off-sites. They did just hire a CFO after being without for a few years, so maybe that will help? Either way I wouldn't sit around and wait. Much better places to take your career and skillset. Did I mention there's no clear path to growth/promotion? When you do well, you'll likely be next on the chopping block instead. While we all know that layoffs are present in the market right now, there's several companies handling them in a much better manner--with less frequency as well. Layoffs aside, that only scratches the surface of all the other stressors at JSQ. Overall just feels like a sinking ship...on fire...with way too many captains all running around...so nothing gets done...and they've thrown most of their crew overboard of course.
