Pros

Great people at the worker level.

Cons

VP of Development lacks professionalism, yells and swears at people. Engineering has gone from a great place to work with empowered teams, to very tops down with executive leaders scrutinizing and reviewing code and second guessing every decision. People are afraid to speak up for fear of losing their job. Pay has been cut with loss of ESPP, RSU's and lower bonus amounts. Decision was made to change the pay to be in arrears, which docked everyone one week of pay in 2023.

Thank you for sharing your experience. TaxAct values and respects its employees, and we want to address some of the concerns you have raised. TaxAct did switch its pay schedule to paying employees in arrears. At no point was any pay docked from employees and all employees continue to receive pay for all time worked. As for your complaint of a manager being disrespectful to employees, we take this very seriously and we have addressed the situation.
