Pros

Benefits are great. Work-life balance is good. Co-workers are talented.

Cons

Leadership and upper management can't determine who's driving the company and where it's going. Goals change month to month. We end up on a never-ending chase because we can't figure out what or how to track it. There have been substantial budget cuts to every department. We've had to cut contractors, vendors, tools, and general spending, but the goals do not reflect the change in budget.

Pros

Work life balance - there is absolutely no incentive to work hard and accomplish goals. There is no accountability and laziness is rampant, especially on the Management team. So you can literally coast, do very little, get paid and prepare for you next "real" job.

Cons

This might have been a good company 5+ years ago, but any of the leaders who were competent have moved on. Your career will stagnate here. The CEO hit his point of incompetence years ago, can't keep strong leaders and can't drive the company to success. No strategy lasts more than a few months.

Pros

Loved the people I worked with.

Cons

The environment was toxic and the HR department didn't do much about it. If you read the reviews, it is clear that something should be done to retain talent. A lot of my female coworkers left because of the toxic environment.
