Pros

Amazing benefits, quarterly bonuses, annual cost of living raises, good people, focus on proper training, involved management /leadership

Cons

Benefits / pay almost so good that you become stuck because you can't find the same at any other company. Once you promote out of entry-level phone agent it's nearly impossible to get anywhere unless you want to be a coach, trainer or team lead; even then it's a political game and popularity contest. They have bandaid fixes for huge problems & try to mask the real issues with free food or soda. VERY difficult metrics to meet & maintain to qualify for bonuses & raises.

Pros

Relaxing culture. family first. Stock performance is generally good for the recent two years and huge benefit if you're eligible for ESPP. Stable product with large customer base means you get opportunity to work on project with real impact.

Cons

1. Blind push for AI and leadership expect unrealistic efficiency improvement 2. Layoff every year in Feb (2024, 2025, 2026) and sometimes can feel the tension in team 3. Legacy tech stack with isolated and fragile infrastructure. Developer friction is a real pain. You get random infra down every once a while and internal support becomes even worse since they started offshoring to LCOL area in 2025. 4. Hiring freeze in San Jose... just expect more layoff coming up + frequent meetings at night / early morning across regions
