Pros

Lunch is provided on Thursdays

Cons

They will lie to you during recruitment, here are just a few things I was told during recruitment that were not true: Great company culture. There is zero company culture, in fact most people keep their heads down and choose not to talk to one another other than the few people on their team. Company events, perks, fun are non existent. Competitive Salary. Lowest Ive seen in the Boise software industry. Floating Holidays. There are none but told there were. Dress Code. Told it is a casual work environment where expression is encouraged. This is a lie and the dress code is constantly getting stricter. No Mandatory Overtime. Many months with mandatory Overtime with PTO blackouts, manly around the holidays. Work Life Balance. There is none. Hybrid work options. Took those away from everyone but management. On top of all this you have only 10 minutes combine a day to use the restrooms. Every second of your day is micromanaged by multiple people.

Work remote. Fantastic leaders, Definitely a place I have enjoyed working.

Pay is slightly less than competitors but work life balance and culture make up for it.

Pros

Great benefits; 90% of the ppl that worked there were the best and really did great work.

Cons

Made employees choose between having MLK Day off or Juneteenth- both which are federally recognized holidays. Excuse was that our customers are open on those days so we need to be open. So as a company, we had to pick which would be a paid holiday and everyone chose Juneteenth because it was in the summer. I think we got a floating holiday to use for any other holiday we wanted off that wasn’t recognized by the company. As you can imagine, this racism was prevalent in management/leadership. My team was the most diverse team and we all got restructured/laid off. There’s a lot of ego and control issues in this company, especially in Talent Acquisition.
