Pros

Good products, some good people to work with.

Cons

-Company has not given a company wide salary increase in years. -Very political. -Does not walk the walk to their "values". -Company till work you as much as they can get away with. -Upper management sets unreasonable expectations in annual budgets, and then forces weeks of vacation to lower expenses (but most people end up working, so essentially a pay cut)

Pros

Work from home period was great but I know that’s not how they operate anymore. My organization structure in corporate marketing was insulated from a lot of the departmental drama and turnover.

Cons

A lot of departmental turnover made following and adopting processes hard Not very competitive for pay Hard to move up the job ladder, easier to leave.
