Pros

Young company with a lot of room for improvement. The paychecks didn't bounce.

Cons

Young company - improvement needed across all management. Constant acquisitions - somewhat disorganized. Communication was lacking between back office departments - specifically IT. IT continues to be completely unorganized/poorly managed - even after 3 CIOs in 3 years. Back off/Infrastructure staff not treated well by management or sales staff. Target dates are more important than people. HR is completely disconnected.

Pros

Fair compensation. Amazing retirement plant - 50% 401(k) match from 1% to 75% of bi-weekly compensation. Obviously there is the IRS limit, but you have option to max out that limit earlier.

Cons

None that I can identify

Pros

If you are cool with regressing into a zero impact worker it’s a very easy company to coast at and it’s largely incentivized.

Cons

Zero professional dignity. Your stakeholders will be some of the dumbest people you’ve ever met and the company rewards this. Everything gets mangled into some 5 year olds vision and the spend on mediocrity is insane. They hate technology you’ll never get access and all software decisions are made through the lens of how some corpo who doesn’t work would want to use it. Couldn’t stand the people I had to deal with and just all around anti technology anti productivity kind of place, just crazy.
