Pros

- Beautiful office / office location - Competitive Pay - Good benefits

Cons

- New executive team couldn't find their way out of a paper bag when it comes to understanding what clients want - Execs work in an echo-chamber of lies. They sit around all day telling each other what they want to hear and don't understand the market at all - Execs are responsible of 75% of the gossip and drama - No consequences for missed numbers - No consequences for bad hires - No investment in culture. Office was constantly empty. - They've completely isolated and ignored their "elite talent network" - The new branding is just lipstick on a pig - nothing has changed.

Pros

+ Grassroots movement to improve the culture + Smart and talented individual contributors + Great location + Solid perks and benefits + YC backed

Cons

- Toxic culture stemming from the executives - Red tape and blockers that makes it impossible to implement new processes - Executives have their own agenda. Every single detail has become political - Unjustified fires and layoffs - Extreme lack of transparency - Unsupportive managers with no direction and guidance - Fear tactics - Lack of diversity, especially in sales - Corporate policies that stripped the startup mentality and environment - Executives are not being held accountable for their failures. Every quarter they had shifted priorities into a different department to solve their issues

Pros

- Very large vision and complex problem it's tackling - Learning opportunities everywhere: client needs/challenges, internal process/operations/product, etc. - A good amount of autonomy to try new things and innovate - Great coworkers - Great perks: office, lunches, gym, etc.

Cons

- The last year has been a period of much change with new execs, new branding and positioning and many new hires. Much of this transition is in the past now though, so clear road ahead - So many challenges to address it can be hard to prioritize and focus as a company - Transparency across the company could be improved
