Pros

Management is top notch, product investment is very noticeable and innovation can be felt all around. Nothing beats working for a great boss and I've lucked out I suppose but I notice good mid level management all around. I have reason to believe the negative reviews are either from disgruntled former employees or people who just don't fit in tech.

Cons

Large company acting like a startup can make things seem disjointed at times but that's what makes it a great company as well. Still feeling the effects of the challenging years before Bain acquisition. Several customers and prospects were not given the right attention due to sales people leaving and now trying to fill the gap for lost time. Marketing does not seem to be as good as the marketing teams at our top competitors.

Pros

Great benefits, great product set, good market share, good perks to employees. Management is trying to increase value of company for investors.

Cons

Company loyalty to employees is low. Job insecurity high. Rounds of layoffs without warning several times per year to make numbers better for investors. Fickle senior management changes mission which causes internal products and teams to gain or loose favor quickly.

Pros

Undergoing a huge transformation which is exciting to be a part of. New leadership team is the best in years. Have switched from being an acquisition focused company to an organic innovation company - lots of exciting technology coming out of the labs.

Cons

Many of the best sales people left for competitive companies during the tough times - before the transformation really took root. The competitive environment is challenging. Career progression is limited.
