Pros

I was lucky to work with a great team of people that I enjoyed seeing every day. I got to travel and kept a work-life balance. Some perks, like the employee stock purchase plan (ESPP) in Israel; central office location; holiday gifts.

Cons

- Bad communication between departments - Most people get little to no training - Managers' hands are tied - lots of bureaucracy in terms of hiring and firing, and budget allocation. - The whole company is micromanaged by the top 2-3 execs - Pay is notoriously low and incentives are a joke - Marketing is suppressed and discouraged, if and when it exists - Sales teams are given ridiculous, increasingly-unachievable targets YoY, and Business Analysis cannot or will not explain the reasoning behind the commission structure. - Tasks change frequently, and if you're not adaptable/able to let the inconsistencies go over your head, it'll drive you crazy. - High staff turnover - Very cultural-specific mentality - if you want something, you have to make yourself heard, push for it, and make a fuss. - When raises are given (to people in the sales team), they are insultingly low.

Pros

- Great place to work for! Benefits are beyond belief! - Managers definitely give you the latitude you need to succeed - definitely NOT a micromanaged company! - Absolutely the best technology in the industry!

Cons

- Interview process can be daunting and frustrating, but it is worth it. - Marketing is lacking currently, but company is making large investments so it is improving.
