Pros
Interesting industry. Select teams are very strong. Select management (at Dir/Sr Dir/VP) is very engaging and strong. Flexible work hours and ability to work from home
Cons
Alarming drop in morale over past two or three years. Invisible and siloed executive team. The exception is the new EVP of sales, who makes an admirable effort to communicate and be networked into the field. Majority of services, product management and marketing seem disgruntled, along with many sales teams in the U.S., U.K. and Europe. Financial strength seems mostly a result of scores business profitability, stock buyback and frequent expense and headcount reductions, rather than true investment and a sustainable growth strategy. Operates like a much larger, staid, process-heavy company, rather than the nimble Silicon Valley company leadership claims it to be. Leadership team is exclusively white males, few of whom have innovative/start up/inspirational energy a company in this sector needs. Harsh focus on quarterly metrics, frequently to the detracting of long term growth. Many senior leaders are elevated from individual contributor or sales roles, with little executive coaching and full-circle evaluation. low compensation, compared to competitors and Silicon Valley companies. Much conversation around, but little visible action to counteract, attrition
