Pros

You will have a decent work-life balance, and the office building is relatively new, it's in a decent location in sandy.

Cons

Since the company was acquired by NICE a few years ago, there has been constant politics between the parent company (NICE) and the child company (incontact, now rebranded to CXone). Since you will be working with NICE in Israel and India, you will have to do late-night calls or early morning calls from time to time. The organization overall is very sales-driven, and none of the product managers are aware of any product management principles or best practices, they are just a bunch of people who either have been in the contact center industry for a few years or been with the company for a long time or sometimes neither. Don't expect to learn good product management practices in this company. Some of the leadership people are also lacking leadership skills greatly... Just because they have the Director title doesn't mean they know anything about management or leadership. This company only values tenure (how long you've been with them), not the actual talent. You will see director level people with zero talent but BIG EGO. Not to mention the pay is so much lower than the industry standard, but they'd say you are trading good pay for job security, but I have seen quite a few people being let go. STAY AWAY unless you literally can't find another job.

Pros

With the new CEO Scott Russel, it seems he is taking on the pay compression that everyone is feeling and trying to make changes. It takes a long time though. They are promising that changes will be coming in March 2026. The worklife balance is great, working in a hybrid work at home/in office environment is great.

Cons

The pay is still lower for the industry standard. In the SDR side bizops makes a laudry list for the SDR's to not get paid on opportunities. They give 3 months for the AE's to change something up in salesforce on the opportunity and if they do, it often stops the SDR's from getting paid. They also jump over dollars to save pennies with their Top Parent Account rule and if any account get an opportunity on it and its owned by a large top parent account, the SDR cannot talk to any of the other companies under the Top Parent Account for 90 days. Sure it stops the SDR from fraud, but it also stops SDR's from selling. NiCE loses out on so much more money trying to stop the SDR's from scamming the system rather than just saying if you make an opp on an Account you can't have any other opps on that one account for 90 days, not all the accounts under the top parent account. It makes absolutely no sense.
