Pluspunten

Good company for fresh graduates and top execs in the Northern Va area but not the case if you are middle management.

Minpunten

No onboarding / training for new joiners in marketing. No clear strategy / direction from top management + lack of transparency. Antiquated systems / processes, but you will only notice this if you are joining from another leading tech company. Upon joining, some employees receive a mac and others the low end dell. This is strange and it doesn't seem like there is a clear and fair policy for all new joiners to be treated in the same way. On your first day, you are given a 5$ voucher to use in the snack room (where no snacks are given for free btw...coffee and tea is pretty much it!) which is very 'cheap' especially for employees coming from other tech companies who are generous with all their employees. The top managers, on the other hand, have access to a VIP lounge where free multi-course meals, prepared by a chef, are served throughout the day. When it comes to business travel, you are even expected to pay for flights from your own pocket and then wait for reimbursement. Flights should be taken care of by the company travel agency, this is common practice in most tech companies, so employees don't have to incur too many costs while traveling regularly for business. The majority of employees in sales & marketing are critical and unhappy so it's a very demotivating environment. Don't expect to be in a typical high energy, fun tech environment. This might explain why employee turnaround is higher than average. There are so many inexperienced junior employees that believe and act as if they are super knowledgeable, yet agressive and insecure. It must be a matter of cost saving but majority of employees look like they are fresh out of college. The culture of gossip and 'mean girls' club is very obvious and should be dealt with.

You will learn ALOT here and if you can stomach the culture you can get promoted quickly or move teams with little friction. Above market rate benefits that start Day 1 Generally speaking good camaraderie amongst the worker ranks I’ve held multiple roles and have appreciated the opportunities to travel internationally which was life changing The product has a little bit of a learning curve but it genuinely is something special once it’s up and running I felt that towards the end of my tenure my pay was exemplary although I really had to earn it

Minpunten

Wowwwww where to begin… Well it’s a top down organisation but also a market laggard. Given our position relative to our competitors this regime of leadership is responsible for missing the moment in Cloud, BI and AI. Middle management and upper management alike don’t have a clue and it’s definitely a soap opera of leadership and empire or cult building. Not a great feeling of purpose when everything you do internally as well as with customers is overshadowed by Bitcoin. Dwindling customer base. We’re really only making money by replacing ironically technologies older than us (Cognos,BOBJ) or moving existing customers to our managed cloud The community is totally dead especially internationally. Minimal on the ground experts at strategy and a very loose and underfunded partner program Product conceptually is great but struggles to differentiate from hyperscalers and modern cloud data platforms on value. Leadership can definitely get a little preachy touting merits or metrics that are pretty vain in the big picture Specifically in the last 3 years gaslighting has been the norm for management. Everything here feels performative and doing your best to do your work without upstaging or upsetting your manager. The RSU distribution definitely feels like serfdom. The employees at the bottom get a single digit or if you’re a heretic you get double digit number of RSUs, but it definitely does not seem fair that the benefits of the Bitcoin strategy rolled to the top, at least when the asset is up
