Pros

Ok benefits decent cubes clean bathrooms

Cons

Do not allow their employees to be leaders. Their more of a micromanagement company with no direct approach nor experience. Everyone, hold on to their work rather than dispense and work as a team. Some executives there are horrible. Do not know how to get there point across without being disrespectiveful.

Pros

There are no pros, with the exception of the great Cbeyond people that are still hanging in there. They are a great group of people to work with.

Cons

This company is a ghost ship. The leadership team is completely clueless as to how a forward thinking technology company should be run. There is no desire to innovate, and create, and be a technology leader. The only thing the leaders of this worthless company care about is the next acquisition, which they will bleed dry and let everyone go. I was fortunate enough to be part of a large acquisition and was a necessary part of the engineering team, so I was able to take my time and move on at my leisure. With C level executives making low level management decisions, its no wonder it's one of the worst places to work. The management team is paralyzed due to fear of being berated by any one of the C level execs. They cannot make decisions on their own, and if they did, those decisions would likely be overturned on a whim, and the manager that made the decision would be publicly chastised and humiliated. Do not work here if you can help it. You will learn nothing of value.

Pros

Comradery, job openings, opportunity for advancement.

Cons

Some managers will throw direct reports under the bus....due to their own fear of upper management. Poor increases when promoted into management. Outside hires earn about 30% more than internal candidate advancing into the same position.
