Pros

Lots of talented people within Sales and Consulting, strong positive company culture out in the territories.

Cons

Too much bureaucracy, back office staff and red tape. Every deciion of any significance is escalated all the way up to the CEO. Organization is filled with useless and non-productive Back Office staff, SVPs, VPs and Senior Directors. Too many meetings filled with too many people, and too little productive and customer-facing work.
