Pros

Ownership and accountability of each individual, pretty good open door policy, candor is expected. Company makes concerted effort to be inclusive, open to listening to employees. No non-sense approach to solving customer issues and encourage customer focus. Strong work / life balance, and creative environment. Encourage employees to walk over and have a conversation rather than pick up phone.

Cons

Lots of clicks, not always consistent in messaging. Clear favorites of employees versus a balanced approach. Some of the L-team members listen with one ear. No team building at the category level, little engagement with those below unless you are part of the click or in-crowd. Clear accountability at HQ but doesn't feel balanced with team in other locations, missing commitments and schedules seems to be OK with some categories while others it is rigid. Lip service on being able to make decisions but in reality it seems that everything requires endless circular conversations.

Pros

I get autonomy to do what I feel is best for the business. I get to work with the awesome people of law enforcement, and I get to make the world a better place!

Cons

I work remote so it is a bit harder to create strong relationships with our people at HQ but our trips, and conferences definitely help with that. I travel A LOT... but I wouldn't trade it!

Pros

Mission driven culture, people that don't take themselves too seriously, lots of opportunity for growth, cutting edge technology that's applied to real world problems instead of getting people to click more ads

Cons

Intense pace, but if you're smart about your time, you can keep good work/life balance
