Vantaggi

The benefits are currently good, but there is a merger of the two sides programs at the end of 2017 coming up. So, who knows what the final result of that will be? There is OTO instead of PTO, which has it's own pros and cons. 401k on the Genesys plan is full vesting on 50c to every $1 up to $4,000 each year, which is way better than anything ININ offered. They are a leader in CX (having seen behind the curtain you have to wonder how), so growth wise they should be stable enough to work for.

Svantaggi

When Genesys acquired ININ it was touted as a merger, and a merger of equals. That there would be an org structure that reflected that equality, and that there was real commonality in our cultures. Genesys even brought in Bain consultants during the initial phase. Reality is, Bain was a waste of money, there is no commonality between ININ and Genesys cultures, and it was a takeover not a merger. The combined org structure was a joke. There is not a single C-suite ININ employee left, a large number of the VP's have left, and there is a steady stream of disillusioned highly talented individual contributors who are taking decades of knowledge away with them. The Genesys director level, for the most part have inflated titles, and do work at a manager or team lead level rather than planning, vision, and setting direction. There are directors that have no direct reports, if that gives any indication of the over inflated titles floating around. Supposedly Indy is/was supposed to become the new G&A hub for Genesys, however the newly hired CFO is in Daly City (having moved from NY), what is that supposed to say? More merger spin to try and keep folks around until all the business systems are integrated after which there be a lot less need for some positions? After 5 months of being Genesys you can see the push for low cost Russian and Indian employees, and it will be interesting to see with Trumps H1-B changes whether there is an acceleration in movement of jobs to outside the US, rather than bringing them in. There are whole floors in Daly City that the primary languages are Russian, then Ukraine, then English. Not a bad thing for a multi-national company, but that would be more expected in say the St.Pertersburg office than California. The company is on the hook to a number of equity companies who are going to be wanting a return on their investment sooner or later. Running the company as cheaply as they can get by with seems to be the game plan.

Vantaggi

PTO is very generous. Great work life balance. Excellent pay.

Svantaggi

Support gets very little say in anything and continues to get more work. Takes at least a year of drowning before you really know what you are doing with confidence.
