Pros

Overall, the company is a good one. Our product offerings are best in our space, and the overall temperament of the company culture is above average. I also truly believe that our CEO's, Aneel and Dave, genuinely believe in our core values. This review is solely based on the current Talent Acquisition team/leadership.

Cons

Previous leadership in Talent Acquisition, while it may not have been perfect, was unifying, empowering and positive. The team felt driven and supported. It was indeed a "great place to work." There was transparency in the communications out to the team, and consistency in their message, mission and the treating employees with fairness and integrity. There has been many changes within the last 6+ months, and the general consensus is that our current leads/leadership is impersonal, calculating and cold. There are managers who would be prefer to not have to manage people but who are forced to in order to move up the ranks, and there are managers who should not have been promoted to a lead role because of a lack of experience. Along with that, there is a reorg going on in the group, and lots of movement. Both contract employees and full time are being treated as if they are quite disposable and feeling very unappreciated and unnerved. Morale is at an all time low and the overall vibe is quite toxic. Even people who act as if they are content have their eye on the market. A lot of us that have been here awhile feel if it wasn't broke, why try to fix it? Talent Acquisition and HR seem to have lost our bearing and we need to get back to our core values of integrity, collaboration, putting our customers/candidates and our employees first.

Pros

Great benefits and people to work with

Cons

Leadership is too focused on woke hiring practices and medical tyranny rather than just sticking to creating and selling a good product. I left because they were forcing actions and beliefs on me that did not line up with my beliefs and I was called names in an open town hall for not agreeing with their stances on things and asking valid questions. They say they like diversity and inclusion, but their actions do NOT align with that if you don't agree with their stances on things or challenge them in any way.

No opportunities...

Pros

There are some great people. But an equal amount of not so great who bring down the culture.

Cons

No opportunities to have any sort ownership on deals unless you are one of a handful of people in Presales who leadership has decided to develop. Sales and leadership have selective hearing and don’t value ideas or opinions of all team members. No diversity, especially in sales. Mostly white males 30s-50s. Depending on who you are assigned to work with, can often be a hostile work environment. If you have one off day at a meeting, expect to be given zero to minimal opportunities for a foreseeable future, and especially not with any sort of deal ownership/leadership capacity. Sales Club for Presales is a joke. Except not to be told about not making Club until Sales Kickoff when you’re forced to sit in the back of the room for keynotes and other speakers.
