Pluspunten

People on the teams are generally good to work with and helpful. Working from home is nice, except the fact they want people in the office 2 days a week for no obvious reason. Work life balance is pretty decent, rarely is any overtime required.

Minpunten

First off let me say that any replies you see from VP of Talent Management you should ignore. You will notice that they will only focus on any slight mention of anything good in these reviews and pretty much blatantly ignore any of the negative things. THIS IS A COMMON THREAD AT THIS COMPANY!! They will sugar coat EVERYTHING and any negatives they can't come up with a good retort to, they will just tell you that you are wrong and obviously the issue is you. They do not take criticism or input well. Hybrid work, it should be set up so that the people that want to continue to work from home can do so and those that wish to go in to the office can. There is no reason for me to waste an hour of my time driving to the office to sit there, probably without my team, and do the same things there that I can do at home. Outdated tech stack. Do you like to program? You do? Tough!! You will have to use archaic and limiting web design or the newer, yet somehow worse, app studio! Little to no coding for you! They often state that they are moving us to newer tech stacks to modernize us...no...they aren't, DO NOT BELIEVE THEM! Ridiculous cult like mentality. Pat would be better as one of those self help guru speakers than he is at running this company. Leadership is so out of touch it's not even funny. They will ask for suggestions on how they can improve things just so they can ignore them. The pay....my god is the pay here so low. This alone should stop you from working here. You will make 10's of thousands less here than you can at a real software company. Focus here is on acquiring new companies, basically to have their customer base to sell more stuff to. There will be no integrating of the acquired companies software in to anything else that we actually maintain and aren't letting die on the vine. You will, at least at the moment, here the term AI thrown around A LOT here. AI FIRST! Problem is our tech stack can't handle AI and what they think is AI is really just PDF readers for the most part.

Thank you for sharing your feedback. I can tell that you are frustrated. As it pertains to remote work, we have decided as a business that we find great benefit in a hybrid work model. We believe that employees deserve flexibility and that employees benefit from in person interactions and collaboration. If you feel like your in-office time isn't adding value, I encourage you to speak with your manager and your team to schedule collaborative sessions and meetings during your office time. As for our technology, we are a 50 year old software company. We are growing and booming and do have some tech debt - which is expected for a company of our long standing history. We are actively working towards modernizing our stack and that comes in many forms and at many speeds. You allege that feedback falls on deaf ears, but quite to the contrary, we have completed our annual survey and have action plans at the company, regional, departmental, and (in most areas) management level. Please reach out to your manager or local HR team if you want more information.

Pluspunten

Worst job & company I’ve ever been at.

Minpunten

Lowball paying, they’d rather let you leave than give a slight raise to their best performers. None of the departments are aligned. Clients are always upset because they get the short stick of this. Don’t fall for the trendy items the company offers on the surface, they’re soulless and lack any caring leadership. I’ve worked at billion dollar companies whose ceos and executives were more involved and interacting with employees than MRI ever was. This company is clearly a private equity firms beast that’s on its usual path to failure, all they do is squeeze out all the money they can from upset clients and burnt out underpaid employees. They’re outsourcing majority of their jobs to South Africa, which if you look up their offered wage there - it’s $22k a year. Most people at the company are miserable and complain about it, moral is absolutely weak and fake. Use them as a stepping stone and ditch them fast if you bother with working here. If you just took a job here, congrats, you’re willing to work for even less money than the last round of folks they just laid off. Don’t be surprised when you don’t meet anyone with 5+ years at this company your first week, and your herded into a room full of new hires with low standards that you’ll witness drop like flies as they quit working there almost immediately.
