      Pros

      People are friendly & a decent amount of vacation time.

      Cons

      Made a lot of employment changes, and got rid of a lot of people who have worked here for a very long time.

      Pros

      The team is really great to work with. Friendly environment and a relaxed attitude.

      Cons

      Pay is average. Every year the company seems to revamp and change employees and management. Every January it feels like a new company, for better or for worse. I don't see much promotion of internal staff. There is some but they seem to prefer to hire externally rather then hiring from within. The product teams are disconnected and the information flow within the company is broken. When sales are down, management gets a little frantic and hokey games to try to increase sales competition that takes up more time than being beneficial.

      Pros

      Most regular employees are professional, educated and nice people. Multicultural environment and opportunities for travel. Flexible work schedule is a big plus. Benefits package is decent but not exceptional.

      Cons

      Pay is average. Matrix management is rather dysfunctional.
