      Great place overall but getting to be a bit presumptive and arrogant in relation to customers.

      Pros

      Good (but not over-the-top) pay and benefits. Good opportunities for personal training and development. Some jobs have good travel options (like sales).

      Cons

      Senior execs seem to be resting on past accomplishments and not really staying abreast of changes in the market, technologies, and customer requirements. All of these areas are better understood by middle management and soldiers in the trenches, though.

      Pros

      Fantastic business model with hyper growth results. Great leadership steering towards a very strong and successful company.

      Cons

      Company growing so fast, no enough staff to support the growth resulting in long hours. Lack of promotion within - they rather hired outside; and usually hire someone above instead.

      Highly political and dysfunctional marketing organization. Terrible management.

      Pros

      Competitive compensation packages, bonuses and stock options. Enjoyed facilities and working with some talented people.

      Cons

      Lack of accountability and leadership, particularly in the marketing organization. Infighting, back-stabbing, dysfunction, inflated titles, arrogance and politics flourish here and are the worst I've seen. It's all about "protecting your turf", power, and image at any costs. Implementing new ideas to actually help Sales and improve processes in a positive, effective and measurable way aren't welcome (unless someone else in a political power position gets the credit). If you are a robot or just a "yes' person who likes to take orders, you'll do fine here. As a result, many of the top talent has left. No amount of compensation is worth one's sanity.
