Pros

Free bagels every Wednesday Some good people (those who don't take themselves too seriously) Great place if you're a supercharged type-a personality Looks good on a resume

Cons

No work/life balance Management overly concerned with making themselves look good Cliquish work environment Young workforce with immature attitudes make it difficult to grow Way to much ego and back-stabbing among middle management Way too meeting intensive - townhalls, state of the industry, etc. - cutting into effective work time Not very cutting edge in terms of technology (yet exclaim to be a 'technology company') Poor training by inexperienced trainers Poor documentation and processes - makes it difficult to pick up from where your predecessor left-off Too much outsourcing to Costa Rica.

Right down the tubes.

Pros

Bonuses are above average when achieved. The people at the team level are very pleasant to work with and friendly.

Cons

Work life balance is now a thing of the past. Many layoffs of dedicated long time employees. New SVP has no clue how to manage people and should return to sales. Constant reorganizing has lead to no faith in senior leadership. Support team is very unapproachable. New office design is one giant display case. Employees are in constant fear of losing their job.

Pros

If you aspire to be a sales person, I think they teach good discipline about smiling & dialing and honestly qualifying a sales opportunity.

Cons

No respect for marketing as a contributor to business success. High churn overall and especially a revolving door in the marketing department. Company is 100% sales focused. I joined the company because I had a great set of interviews with the Marketing Director. 2 days after I joined, the small marketing department went out for drinks to celebrate the fact that we had completed our annual metrics a full quarter early. The next day the Marketing Director was fired, presumably because she asked for a promotion or a raise or something, which, evidently, she deserved. That kicked off a year of hell where I worked my butt off and then I was unceremoniously fired by the Marketing Director's incompetent replacement. That replacement Marketing Director lasted another month before he was fired. Wow! Shameful!
