Pros

Fun and energetic atmosphere. Wide spectrum of experienced people in various verticals. Operationally sound and a well-oiled machine. The ability to meet all walks of life globally. The company has money and isn't shy on spending a little internally. Training is extensive.

Cons

Company view marketed internally as a "Promote Within" organization, but hiring Executives actions dictate an exemption from the policy. A tendency to disregard reality of the marketplace as a whole. Disfunctional Midlevel to top level communication. Newly hired Executives with agenda's that don't corespond to change that's empacting, and sustainable.

Pros

Good work-life balance. Solid pay with significant RSU awards. There are pockets where you get to work with good, smart people.

Cons

We all had high hopes for Adaire. We all were rooting for her. Look, the culture before Adaire wasn’t perfect. There were a lot politics at play and there definitely was some cleaning up to do, but we still felt like we were working for a winning company that continued to deliver results and didn’t treat us like a number. In the last year, that has all changed. The strategy seems to be simple. Cut as many headcount as possible without impacting the revenue. We now are all a number and worry weekly that we could be on the chopping block next. The most vulnerable are SVP’s and above. They all have a target on their back since so many have been shown the door and replaced. When you have every executive in the company running scared, it just cascades down the ranks.

Pros

-Overall compensation is fair -A fair amount of good coworkers to work with -High potential industry to continue growth

Cons

-There are people within the HR organization that will throw other people under the bus. People are not held accountable and it's been a growing theme the last few years -The company and HR org itself are going through a big change and the culture is taking a hit. -A ton of politics within HR. Do not trust your HR reps especially if you work in HR there
