Pros
The compensation and benefits are fair, and a yearly salary increase is on par with leaders in the industry. There are some great people here that I’ve been honored to call my colleagues.
Cons
It’s cliche to say, but this place really is a meat grinder. There’s absolutely no respect for your work-life balance, and mid-level managers on up will readily guilt and punish you if you won’t commit to a working a schedule well outside of normal business hours. I understand every company will have its fair share of incompetent employees, but even from your first week at JAGGAER, it’s apparent that every department is plagued by incompetence, and it pulls everyone down as a whole. This company wide B-team breeds a culture of backbiting and constant finger pointing, because as goals are not met quarter after quarter, these individuals blame and explain away their failures on other teams and employees. The CYA culture here is so demoralizing, and managers and sales think nothing of throwing others under the bus to the C-suite when deals fall through or quotas are not met. JAGGAER consistently tries to cut corners by outsourcing entire departments overseas and to contractors. Despite seeing how the quality of work has diminished because of this, they continue to under-resource US based staff, and double-down with outsourcing. It’s mind-boggling to see how JAGGAER believes they can recruit top talent, but expect to pay pennies on the dollar for it. Ultimately - the company feels like it’s in an internal tailspin, with an endless stream of conflict, firings and underperformance. A month here will make you wonder how the whole place stays afloat despite the constant state of disarray. You owe it to yourself, your family, and your sanity to work somewhere else.
