Pros

- There are some good people working in the trenches: smart, fun and easy to get along with - Downtown location (pay to park, though) - Solid medical benefits and meals - Gym & shower in the building

Cons

- Leadership lacking at every level; minimal mentorship or coaching, leads care about how you help them to their number, but not about you as a person - Unclear career path, especially in satellite offices; dozens of people have left for other offices with better opportunities - Bro culture on the sales side with a local "leader" who is unable to relate to anyone not exactly like him - Because of the above point, attempts at diversity are feeble and just for show - No transparency as to how sales quotas are determined; they seem to be picked from the sky - Compensation is not on par with other software companies; if you want to make money as a seller, good luck - Atmosphere is no longer positive and encouraging; morale is low Bottom line: if career progression or sales success if what you're looking for, be sure to ask very specific questions about how leadership will help you get there and use caution; don't let the fluff reviews cloud your judgement

Pros

Benefits: - Personal wellbeing allowance - Annual performance bonus - Equity - Internet & cell phone reimbursement

Cons

Very little room for growth. No real sense of job security due to the constant layoffs. Execs chase the latest and greatest trends, only to abandon projects halfway through. There’s no real sense of leadership or direction—where’s the company headed? What’s the actual goal of [xyz] project?
