Pros

Good benefits, good pay, friendly colleagues. Lots of VC funding, and money is being spent in the right places.

Cons

The company is growing at such a break-neck pace, unfortunately at the expense of the employees. Work-life balance is non-existent (not if you want to succeed here). Definitely NOT a good fit for anyone with a family because you will never see them. Don't be fooled, they cater lunch to keep you at your desk. If you are looking at a Sales position, prepare to be just another number. This company goes through salespeople more than any other I've seen. 90% of the salespeople on staff have been there less than 1-yr. Tons of turnover and as another ex-employee stated, there's always a threat of being fired if you miss your quarter, no exceptions. Some people thrive in this type of environment, if you're one of them, then this is a great company for you for the pros mentioned above. If you don't, then don't let the perks sway you and definitely look elsewhere because you'll just be unhappy and fired within 6-months.

Pros

Act-on has since been purchased, but my experience was very positive. They were the last standing marketing company to not be gobbled up by a larger corporation. The product was superior to Adobe/Salesforce/Oracle’s and engineering staff super-passionate.

Cons

Executive staff was mainly on a treadmill.

Pros

They offer a partial fitness reimbursement for your gym membership.

Cons

They will say they have modern, progressive values. It’s a deception. When it comes down to it, the only thing they stand for is protecting leadership. Even the company’s bottom line comes second to appeasing senior leaders. This company punishes dissent and tolerates bullying when the perpetrators are friendly with senior leadership. Desperation after years of poor performance have created a toxic environment where leaders cover for their mistakes by isolating and targeting those who disagree with them. Dishonest. The least transparent company I’ve ever worked for. You will hear one thing one day and be told the opposite the next day on your way out the door.
