Pros

Amazing team on the front lines

Cons

Execs preach customer service and employee satisfaction, but only execute based on making profit Massive RIFs if associates who took bullet after bullet taking care of team and customers. Loyalty is NOT rewarded, kissing butt IS It’s not enough to execute and perform, you MUST OT rock the boat, nor be a challenger Conformance is the most important thing. The more smoke you blow up someone’s hind end, the better off you’ll be.

Thank you for sharing your opinion, and I do agree that we have amazing people interacting with our customers and our customers’ customers daily. The reduction in force you mention was unplanned. In fact, 2020 began with a forecast of hiring hundreds of new employees. When the COVID-19 pandemic began, our work volume dropped tremendously as people around the world stopped traveling and stayed home. We first furloughed employees to account for the drop in work volume, but the pandemic persisted, the work volume continued to decline and we did take the unfortunate step of reducing our workforce. I can assure you that this decision was not easy and was not made lightly. You also mention that employees must not rock the boat; however, our culture is designed to encourage employees to do just that. Under our Core Value “Do What’s Right,” we encourage and expect employees to be courageous and step up to address difficult issues and say what needs to be said. Throughout our company’s history, we have made tremendous advancements in our products and processes because employees have challenged the status-quo or suggested alternate ideas. I can’t imagine where would we be today if our employees didn’t regularly rock the boat. I also agree with your assessment that we have invested heavily in corporate infrastructure since going public. Our employees deserve the best workplace experience, and our customers deserve the best service and products. To provide these, we must invest in our employee experience, our infrastructure and other foundational components of our business. We have invested millions in the internal tools and programs used by our employees to serve our customers, and will continue to do so in 2021 and beyond.

Pros

The company has a strong, collaborative culture where people are genuinely invested in doing high-quality work and supporting each other. There's a lot of exposure to interesting, complex projects, and you're trusted to own your work and make an impact. For anyone who wants to grow professionally, there's real opportunity here. High performers are recognized, and you're given the space to step up and expand your scope.

Cons

Work can be complex and fast paced but a great environment for people who enjoy challenging problems and making meaningful changes.

Pros

They'll mail you a box of popcorn and nuts around Xmas, sometimes.

Cons

Compensation is well below industry average and the benefits are just as bad — healthcare especially is expensive for what little you actually get. There is zero upward mobility. When someone leaves and a role opens up, they will hire externally every single time instead of promoting the people already doing the work. They run intentionally understaffed under the excuse of staying "lean," which just means the people there are overworked with unrealistic deadlines and no relief in sight. Micromanagement is a serious problem throughout the organization. My manager was passive-aggressive and toxic. One-on-ones were essentially monologues — you couldn't get a word in while they rambled about what the team should and shouldn't be doing. When something goes wrong, senior leadership is quick to point fingers downward. There is a clear pattern of blame being shifted onto individual contributors and mid-level managers to protect those at the top.
