Pros

if your manager agrees there is great opportunity to WFH. They also had nice perks like gym discount, free snacks and drinks, breakfast on monday, etc. The company also just moved to a new office which was very bright and clean; however, kind of overkill/childish/cheesey with the Star Wars theme.

Cons

Poor management. All of the managers are under experienced and way too young. They promote too quickly with lack of experience and background. There is also a sense of urgency and chaos - maybe because the products are weak or the managers don't know how to handle a team. Either way it is way too stressful of a work environment for no return. The overall failure of Carbonite can be pin pointed down to poor and inexperienced management. Lastly, the turnaround rate is insane. People are there one day, gone the next. I think I can count maybe 10 people who have been there for over a year. Doesn't help boost company morale knowing that either people are being let go by the dozens or not lasting more than four/five months in a role. Longevity is key to a company's success and worth. Sadly, the last con of this company is the office politics, gossip and drama. It starts on day one. This is to be expected with any company but at Carbonite this the worst I've ever seen it. I think a large part can be attributed to the lack of experience, professionalism and maturity amongst the employees and management.
