Pros

Salary.com has seen some big changes in the last 18 months. Following the buy-back from IBM, the company spent the first year stabilizing the business: establishing processes, enabling the sales team, building a marketing team, and refocusing on customer service. There's still a ways to go before everything is running like clockwork, but they've hired some amazing talent (some new and some returning Salary.comers from the first time around) and are beginning to see some big wins. The new product looks beautiful, they've got great people on board, and there's a lot of laughter in the Waltham office every day.

Cons

The work is challenging, but engaging at the same time. If you're smart and you like to solve problems, this is a great place for you. I've experienced some growing pains over the last 18 months, and there's plenty of stuff that still needs to be addressed, but everything is headed in the right direction.

Pros

- Great place for an entry level person starting out. - Free Lunch - Known for their high quality compensation data set - BCBS Healthcare is great - Most individual contributors are really nice -Management knows their internal processes well.

Cons

-Upper Management is haphazard with poor communication. -VC's are squeezing every ounce of profit at the expense of employees. -Pay is docked for not hitting in office participation quota. -RIF's are used to remove older workers and alleviate their salary compression issue. -Goals and priorities are constantly changing. -Tasks are constantly added then focus shifts to something new. Not well thought out. - The constant changes make it feel like a test environment for a business case. Changes are not well thought out and poorly implemented. And then scrapped when they fail. - There is little regard for the individual contributor. - Advancement opportunities are dependent on political circle not performance. -Base pay is low. Takes 4 years to make competitive industry compensation.
