      Pros

      - The pay and benefits are competitive - The CEO is level-headed and a true thought leader. Would give him 5 starts except that his leadership team is not high performing and inconsistent. - The unique approach to enable people to be a "manager of one" is effective (e.g., very good at documenting process and responsibilities)

      Cons

      - Currently, there seems to be a leadership void that is resulting in a deterioration of the company values. In at least one particular department, an interim leader leverages a fear based leadership style. - Team members are sensing chaos coming from the executive team. - There is an over emphasis on short term results over long term planning and team member experience.

      Was once great, but now weighed down by nepotism and poor leadership

      Pros

      Great product, truly hard working teams and smart people. Overall culture is well intentioned. Good benefits and comp packages.

      Cons

      Many leaders haven't done the function they lead and focus entirely on managing up; large and growing divide between VP+ layer and rest of company. No longer a meritocracy, hard to get promoted if you're not friends with your VP and forget it if you push back (its become an open secret that some people are `favorites`). Sales team is very heavy on "Strategists" vs actual sellers or GTM professionals (think consultants vs actual operators). 0 oversight on managers, no 360 review program, disconnected HR is focused on managing out vs growing talent.
