Pros

Amazing culture, strong strategy and good work / life balance. If you are looking to excel and have the best years of your career this is the place to be.

Cons

Onboarding for specialist roles could be more focused, the Sales Academy in terms of content was very broad and more specific for account managers.

Pros

fairly lax with lots of time to do things

Cons

many. Former CEO ran things poorly and took in managers who brought along their problems and animosities with them. Not only that, they were allowed to invite their friends to come and join too, many of them owing their jobs to someone creating a bro culture. Even though top mgmt changed since the sale, its many of these people still there to this day. Most of the systems were a black box, existing engineers were mostly uncooperative to keep their knowledge to themselves, the offshore engineers in one particular country were especially bad for this. I have seen major accomplishments achieved by someone, where so many others had failed, only to get fired soon after.
