Vantaggi

If I would’ve written this one year ago, I would’ve given 4 stars. It was good while it lasted. 5 weeks PTO. But would expect new ownership to take that away soon. You can get lucky and get a great manager, but at the end of the day, the culture and big decisions come from the executives. Nice place to get your first experience under the belt and then leave.

Svantaggi

Massive layoffs every 2-3 years. Each time they’ll tell you that they’re going from heavy investment to finally making a profit. Francisco Partners just made the decision to peanut butter layoff across the board. 300+ laid off, most of them were very talented and necessary for day to day operations. They claim that their strategy is to automate as much as possible, but they laid off the engineers that would’ve made it possible to automate processes. The redundant, seat-warmers, counter-productive and slackers stayed. Note: they did this 3 days before corporate bonus was paid out!!! I assume this vary from team to team based on other reviews, but compensation can be absolutely sub-par with overpromises and under-delivers of growth.

Remote friendly. Good culture depending on the team.

Svantaggi

I am making $185k total comp as a basic Marketing Manager. Not even a 'Senior' Manager, but just your basic peasant-class Manager. How can I be making as much money (or more) than some of the Forcepoint staff lawyers, more money than some junior-level medical doctors, but my job title is equivalent to that of some recent college grad? This matters because my job is Director-level in everything but title only. All my KPI's, performance reviews, and work, is at the Director level. But because I am a basic manager, some of my peers treat me as if I am 23 years old making $70k/yr with bare bones KPI's. This creates an awkward situation because I am paid more than many colleagues who have more senior job titles than me. But since we do not openly discuss salary, my peers do not know this and think my KPI's are basic, when really I have much higher KPIs than colleagues with more senior job titles It is silly that some peers are making 20-30% less than me, but have more senior job titles just because of tenure - which is a meaningless indicator of performance.
