Pros

This is the closest thing to a "no judgement zone" workplace I've experienced. No judgement does not equate to "no performance, or no expectations", a great deal is expected of folks who join our team. The "no @$$hole" hiring policy has a real impact on the quality of people that are brought in to join the team, & believe me, I've worked with plenty of them in the past (Crossbeam Systems anyone?). There is plenty of opportunity for me to play in multiple areas beyond the job I was hired to do, and that is what keeps this place fresh, challenging, and exciting for me. Work-life balance is a real thing here, not just a buzz-word, and they promote those who deserve it on their merits.

Cons

It's a rather large organization, and trying to find the right people to help you with a problem outside of your domain or project can be challenging at times. Also, the issue of effective cross-team commuinications and breaking down silos is raised fairly regularly, even though this has improved dramatically over the past 2+ years I've been here.

Pros

- Great career development. Opportunities that I never thought would exist have been given to may employees. - Work hard / play harder. The company understands and appreciates hard work, and has built a fun environment for any sort of de-stressing that may need to take place...or just some time to play games. - Innovation and recognition. Quarterly, company-wide innovation hackathons with great rewards and recognition by name. - Benefits. The health and life insurance that are provided are the best I have had the pleasure of enrolling in. On site benefits like free food and soda on a regular basis help the day-to-day. I probably don't have to mention the beer cart, seems like other reviews have that covered as well.

Cons

Vocal detractors. As is probably the case with almost any company, the minority of people who feel as though the company doesn't appreciate them can bleed their negativity on to others. I've seen some of the reviews on here, and see the same situations in completely different ways. I would encourage anyone reading these reviews to take the negativity with a grain of salt.

Pros

A large company that works its hardest to keep the lowest employees as happy as possible. Strong Incentive for support Career development Management structure that cares Amazing benefits There are very few contact centers out there that offer free drinks, bring in caterers and have a loose and easy going management structure. Getting back what you put in is what defined Constant Contact for me and made it a wonderful place to work

Cons

Depending on where you go there is a bit of a glass ceiling, headquarters in MA offers larger growth opportunities overall. Perceptions are a reality Getting back what you put in is a double edged statement here: there can be some negativity from those who either never put forth the effort required and expected promotions or those who tried and failed at one point.
