Vantaggi

Altogether nice colleagues. Good work-life balance.

Svantaggi

The culture: the much hyped "we are one big loving family" is akin to a cult and merely skin deep, and they do not really care about you. Take for instance this year's COVID layoffs" - management and the VCs needed a way to offload a bunch of people off the company's books to have a high EPS so investors could buy shares. As a result, a big percentage of employees were fired with no fault of their own and without a warning during the worst time in years to be looking for a job. The open jobs currently posted aren't new positions, the company is merely replacing employees fired only a couple of months ago. The strategy and the management: everything Ping does is US-centric and the company does not have a clue how to do business in other regions. Okta and Microsoft are well ahead, particularly in Europe. A new VP has been hired to turn the results around and the stock price keeps falling. Fact is: this organization has always struggled. Management is failing to execute on a plan to take the company to the next level. But for years they have been selling the story that they are growing and now is the right time to join.

Vantaggi

The culture statements are backed up with actions. It really is a great place to work. I should know, I was here, left, and now I came back to work for Ping a second time.

Svantaggi

There really aren't any. Are there bad days at Ping? Sure... but they're out weighed by the good ones many times over. It's not perfect but the people who work here mean well and are generally very cool. So we figure out the solutions to the challenges together.

Vantaggi

- Challenging work (largely due to poorly designed products) - Decent work/life balance

Svantaggi

Leadership and culture. I was an IC and I had next to no trust in any leader in the organization, they were begrudgingly transparent (had to be forced to keep a pre-acqusition anonymous AMA). Very little overall direction within engineering org. Private equity strangling a once good company. Company with many remote workers hasn't had ANY in-person events in 3+ years. Retaining and acquiring customers being put ahead of anything else, this has resulted in WAY more overselling of the product than usual. This then falls at the feet of engineering to figure out how to make things work and is not a great position to be in. Beginnings of a blame culture around churning of customers, the company also apparently has now tied customer churn to some people's salary. So if a customer doesn't renew for a reason outside their control, they still lose compensation.
