- Culture is undergoing changes. The way everything is shaking out, the culture isn't nearly as great as it was before the aquisition by Fransisco Partners. I've seen a LOT of great people leave because of this. Even people who have been with Boomi for more than 15 years.
- I would say the work life balance is good, which is why I choose to stay, but in order to move up/get a significant pay raise, you have to be in the top 5% of employees. There's no real timeline for progression. It's very abstract in timing and you're escentially having to wait around until new opportunities open up, which seems extremely random at times. And on top of that, if you aren't in the top 5% of employees when those opportunites DO open up, you're basically screwed. So there's a lot of insentive to stay at the top all the time which can cause burnout.
- Plans change randomly every year. I hate to say it like this, but the ELT needs to pick a plan and stick with it. Sometimes it feels like a squirrel on caffine is making descions for the company because things change so fast and it feels like there's no intentional focus.
- I think one of the main reasons people are leaving is because there's no clarity on if the company is going public on the stock marklet, or if they're looking to get bought out by a larger competitor (like Oracle). If the company gets bought out, people's jobs will probably be axed which insentivizes good employees to leave. The general consensus among employees is that they want to get bought out. When Steve lucas first arrived he said Boomi would IPO (go public) but after his first quarter he escentailly never brought that back up leading people to believe Fransisco Partners has other plans.
