      In rapid decline

      Anonymous employee

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Intelligent people, comfortable work spaces, lots of free lunches.

      Cons

      HR is untrustworthy, and has transformed an open culture into a very political one. Too much focus on street performance and rewarding investors, and not enough focus on rewarding employees for their contributions towards those successes.

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Some co-workers Benefits Paid time off

      Cons

      Masogonistic. Leadership. Many broken processes. Too many reps, not enough TAM. Often impossible quotas. “Promotions” with no raise but more work. Stalled growth, just look at their stock.
