The people I work with are great, and it's easy to avoid the ones that aren't easy to work with. There is a perception of career growth due to job title inflation, so it's easy to transfer out with a pay bump. Lots of long time employees are on a rest and vest plan and are pretty chill. If you get on the right team and are OK with below average pay then this is a great way to learn enterprise security software and then leave for a higher paying company.
Pay raises are really bad, even after a promotion (8-12%). Most highly compensated employees are granted "units" in the company and that is supposed to provide total compensation on par with the rest of the industry, but the stock is not liquid. The equity projections given 3 years ago are below the actual value seen during a recent partial liquidation event. Total revenue is still increasing but new revenue has stalled, so priority is always given to maintenance work to keep maintenance revenue high. The board is run by a PE firm that squeezes every ounce of EBITDA out of the company. That includes ever increasing deductibles and max out of pocket limits for the HSA health plan, an employer sponsored HSA contribution that has not kept up with inflation, eliminating cash bonuses for special employee awards, increased restrictions on company travel before the pandemic even started, etc. Also, anything that can be outsourced will be outsourced. Most of HR has been outsourced, parts of talent manager and recruiting have been outsourced, and any effort to try to build a new product will have outsourcing. The last major software project was outsourced to India for a year, then transitioned to one of the internal teams with 1/3 the developers to continue developing it. Over a year later there's still nothing functional enough to sell. Prior to that project, the company went through a series of technology acquisitions where development of the acquired codebase was outsourced. Most of those acquisitions failed to generate substantial revenue and have been "sunsetted". Despite this, the same executive leadership team is in place and constantly passes the buck to consultants to make major decisions. They even get rewarded for this with multi-million dollar equity grants. It seems like the board values yes-men who work long hours versus actually measuring and achieving tangible results. The whole ELT is just lucky the fed has been printing money for a decade which has inflated the value of every company owned by PE firms. The board and CEO have made it clear that innovating from within is not a priority and any attempt to generate new revenue has to involve outsourcing. Anyone working on legacy products will be stuck with 10+ years of tech debt. Many of the legacy products have no unit or integration tests. Those that do have very poor test coverage. There is some automated end-to-end testing, but no metrics to track its effectiveness, by design. Finally, the company is struggling to find qualified candidates to fill empty positions because the finance department controls salary ranges and has no clue what developers are worth. They are primarily focused on getting candidates in jurisdictions with the right tax incentives.
