Pros

People are nice enough and the benefits are pretty good for a big company. 401k match, some tuition reimbursement, health club reimbursement

Cons

The work, the culture, the environment and leadership. I joined in June of 2017 and it took until November to finally get on a real project. Lots of sitting around twiddling your thumbs. Management post merger is all screwed up. No one has any idea who's responsible for what, who's doing what and there is no guarantee of success for this company

Pros

Medical Benefits are very good. Not a lot of micromanagement unless your leader doesnt understand the resources to pull this info. AI is highly encouraged, not required... which is a nice balance.

Cons

Random layoffs every couple months. Kate Johnson doesn't understand the importance of credibility in this space. Q1 customer meetings are majority introduction meetings due to constant account realignment. Leadership pretends to believe they know these are large enterprise accounts, but their actions reflect a transactional sales approach.
