These are some of our favorite positives to hear - we're glad that you're enjoying our flexible working policy and working with your colleagues! However, we do understand that the last year has brought transitions and feelings of uncertainty. One of our biggest goals this year is to rebuild employee trust, and your feedback is a vital part of that. Thank you for your honesty.

We love to hear that our employees love working with each other! We know that navigating the transition to private equity hasn't been easy, we also know that the dust hasn’t completely settled. We understand that we have a lot of work to do to repair employee trust and morale, and we’ve set off on that journey to listen to what our employees feel and what they want to see. Thank you for your review and honest feedback!

Pros

My team mates are good, likeable people Severance when you are laid off

Cons

Leadership can't help but outsource to India The work that isn't outsourced yet is stuff nobody wants to work on They keep laying people off in waves It is hard to care about making a quality product when leadership only cares about saving money On call is noisy

Thank you for your honesty. We have had to make some extremely difficult decisions and tough calls over the course of the last year, but our leadership team has tried to minimize the instances of layoffs and has set us on a course to avoid needing to make those decisions again. Our leadership team and our employees remain committed to improving our product everyday for our customers so that we remain best in class, and we’re happy that you’re here with us to keep driving our product forward.
