Pros

Paychecks were deposited into my account

Cons

Under no circumstances should you work for this company. My company (Spanning) was acquired by Kaseya, and they didn't even tell us about it for months. Their CEO finally came and delivered a grand vision of synergies and a bundled software suite. It seemed to be mostly hot air, and Kaseya got to work on quickly proving that. Shortly after the announcement, they laid off half of our executive staff. Their CTO then held a meeting with all of engineering, product, and design. He spent over an hour talking mostly about himself, handed us a bunch of coins that he had designed himself, and then proceeded to tell us that we were all too expensive. After a question about our jobs, he went on to explain that he had no need for a bunch of talented engineers, but really just one and then a few interns or offshore developers. He wrapped up by extending us an invitation to join him "on the bus" with a Powerpoint slide that included a photo of a bus with a Kaseya logo on it. Needless to say, it wasn't convincing. Attrition was instantaneous and extremely high, whether forced or organic. This seems to have been their plan all along. Kaseya pretty quickly moved the Spanning office. By the time the move was complete, roughly half of the company had already left or been let go. Offshore engineers were hired to replace some of the attrition, but the products went entirely on life-support. No new feature work exists, no innovation is taking place, and there is zero room for advancement or growth for employees still left within the company. My understanding is that even the new office is being closed down and any remaining employees will simply work from a co-working space now. So much tribal knowledge was lost, and big customers followed. There are very few employees that haven't been offshored yet. Spanning was such an amazing company to work for, even through multiple acquisitions by EMC, Dell, and at least for a short while, Insight Venture Partners. Once Kaseya took the helm, the ship almost immediately sank. Determined to get to the bottom of what happened, Kaseya sent in a consultant to the Spanning office, who basically ignored anything said by the employees there. He returned to Kaseya's offices to triumphantly proclaim that the previous leadership team of Spanning was at fault for all of the problems related to the acquisition. After working there for many years and experiencing three prior acquisitions, I can assure you that this is entirely untrue. While they weren't without their faults, overall the Spanning leadership did an absolutely amazing job building a culture that truly motivated people to do their best, demonstrated that they actually cared about developing their employees, and really made us all feel like family. It was truly a pleasure working at Spanning and I am extremely proud of everything I accomplished and learned there. Kaseya was simply a nightmare. The company is toxic and you should not consider working there. They do not value people, and they do not value products. Their sole focus appears to be slashing jobs in order to line the pockets of the executive staff.

Pros

-Exposure to SaaS -Decent product if it worked -Vision makes sense -Cutthroat immorality & favoritism are the only upward paths -Equity program (now dead)

Cons

-Products generally dont work, no confidence in selling them -Current Leadership is completely out of touch with the reality of their workforce/operations - Claws back commissions on deals you never sold / received attainment/comms on (not sure how this is legal) -No WFH flexibility. -PTO is not respected. Paternity leave is frowned upon but somewhat respected. IN most cases, still expected to produce -Consistently misleads employees on intiatives, and borderline falsifies layoff rationale -Equity program is likely funny money at this point. prev CFO fired, and was actively involved with Enron scandals. replacement CFO gutted for quick sale of company by PE and bailed out when he saw it was impossible -Vast majority of clientel is with Kaseya out of pure hostage scenarios through predatory contract policies
