Pros

You’ll work with some truly smart, capable, and kind people Some managers genuinely care and try to shield their teams from the noise Benefits and PTO are decent

Cons

Return-to-office policy is performative and demoralizing; it’s not about collaboration - it’s about control Leadership often ignores employee feedback, even when it's overwhelmingly consistent Decisions are made behind closed doors and handed down with a smile, but little substance Promotions and visibility often come down to proximity and politics, not performance Morale is in free fall, with no meaningful effort to stop the bleeding Communication is polished corporate speak - rarely candid, never actionable Remote employees are being quietly pushed out despite years of contribution Culture has shifted from people-first to leadership-first, and it shows

Pros

Pay (salary + bonus + equity) was ok

Cons

HRBPs are sinking the ship. They are making business decisions, hiring/firing decisions for the business units. They sit on interview panels just to ask some behavioral questions that any of the other interviewers could ask. They inconsistently apply extreme policies (not even talking about the RTO). The company says they want to grow to be a billion dollar company. No company has ever done it with HR policies. I've been at companies a tenth of the size and trillion dollar companies. None have had the HR policies that Q2 has. The business model is also not sustainable. The number of financial institutions in the US has been shrinking for 20+ years. And once the local banks get scooped up by the JP Morgan Chases, they'll be using the Chase mobile app, not Q2's software.
