Pros

Great colleagues. Good starting pay. Decent bonus. Good company reputation within industry.

Cons

Growth opportunity is very contingent upon the team you end up on… if you end up on a team with larger revenues you’ll get paid more than someone on a smaller team doing the same job. Very tough to break off a team & start producing (it is almost discouraged). There’s a lack of good mentors/managers to help you grow internally and professionally. Pay is capped as an account executive. There is not really room to grow after a few years if you don’t want to produce.

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.
