Pros

So, let me just tell you that the company is great. They offer a lot of incentives to join and really try and pump you up as far as 'spearheading this new chapter in your life'. But, it's just not there. You get scholarships (which you should definitely have them clarify in the FIRST interview), the training is tedious but good, the environment is awesome.

Cons

You'll sell life insurance to your family.... and if your family doesn't know more people you can sell to, then you cold call. And if cold calling doesn't pan out, you don't make any money. They leave you high and dry when you approach them and tell them you've hit a dead end. You have your "natural market" and that's it. Oh, and if you're struggling, they tell you to 'team sell'.. which is fine, IF you want to split your commission with that other sales person. So you get the lead, you set the appointment, you drive there to talk to this person and you have to split part of the commission because someone else is there to "help" you.

Pros

Great programs for experience in fortune 100.

Cons

Cared more about building a program to attract interns than future employees.

Pros

• Decent benefits • Some good individual contributors and colleagues.

Cons

• Extremely high workload — regularly expected to work 60-80+ hours per week • Constant scope changes with unrealistic expectations and impossible deadlines • Upper management was disconnected and showed little concern for employee well-being • Highly political environment where internal politics often outweighed actual performance • Mass layoffs that eliminated roughly half the engineering team, followed by offshoring many roles to India — even after many of us had dedicated 4+ years to the company • Extremely stressful and unsustainable culture leading to widespread burnout
