Pros

Good Salary if you negotiate well Benefits are good Training Budget is very good

Cons

Senior leadership is very out of touch with what's happening within the company, most of them only seem interested in when their next summit will be. There's a lack of vision as to what they want the company to be. We're a services company but they insist on pivoting to a product company without any thought to where our core competencies lie. There is very little work life balance and if you're not careful you will find yourself "living at work" Senior Management lacks a spine and will not say no to even the most outlandish customer request.

Pros

Working hard to turn around the culture. They are very transparent about past RIFs and future business outlook. Compensation and benefits are great!

Cons

No true onboarding or 30/60/90 day plan. This gives people autonomy to make the role their own, but can be scary since there’s been so many layoffs and not much seems to be documented when you’re a new hire.

Pros

The people here are amazing! I'm surrounded by brilliant team members who lift each other up and help everyone learn. There's also great cross team collaboration. Leadership is communicates openly and honestly and genuinely values employees. There are also ample opportunities to grow your career here. So far, it's been a very refreshing place to work.

Cons

There's no 401k match right now, but leadership seems to recognize the importance of bringing it back and is working to make it happen. Comp is slightly lower than industry peers, but the ability to make a difference in your daily work is valuable.
