Pros

They have basically the best product in their category. In a sales role, you know you are always providing the best solution available. Management has corrected organizational decisions in as quick as 1 Qtr, when it was evident they had made a mistake that hurt their employees. Focus is on results you produce in the role as opposed to micromanaging.

Cons

Pay is lower in most roles than industry average. I attribute this to the fact that it is a bit more consistent and stable than similar companies in tech and a lot of people are willing to sacrifice a bit of pay for that stability and consistency.

Pros

The team is diverse and due it being a large company, procedures are pretty established. That's literally it.

Cons

Uncommunicative staff, uncertainty and lack of communication when it comes to job security, and cold impersonal treatment that makes people feel like robots instead of humans. Employees are getting replaced by AI because of the greedy investment firm that owns this company so if you work here, good luck to you-management is actively trying to replace you my love! The hilarious part is that they don't even try to hide it and they try to make it seem like a positive thing that you will be out of a job due to AI with their ludicrous All Hands meetings and presenting their dystopian AI implementations in a positive light. Ridiculous! Micromanaging is extreme to the point where it's laughable. In my 10 years of being in the workforce I have never seen this level of silly nitpicking. I am in a constant state of anxiety and never knowing where I stand with management. Entry level employees are disposable and middle management is overworked, often doing the jobs of several entry level employees and working weekends to save the company money which is so heartbreaking.
