Pros

Highly competitive compensation and excellent stock performance. Company's data center services are in high demand. Flexible work schedule. Some committed, hard-working people, but many who are just playing politics.

Cons

Unfortunately, the company's financial performance simply doesn't make up for a culture that's rife with politics, dysfunctional relationships and arrogance. If you're a "yes" person who plays political games well, you'll do just fine here. If you bring energy, original ideas and assert yourself, you probably won't last. The Marketing organization in particular suffers from a tremendous amount of back-stabbing and dysfunction. This certainly points to a lack of leadership, and most executives seem to be more concerned about protecting their own images and careers than helping to shift the culture in a more positive direction. There has been an exodus of talented people as a result.

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.
