Pros

-Good company mission -Fair compensation and benefits

Cons

-Like many mentioned, you cannot trust HR. They're not here to serve the people. They're here to keep the stock market in a good place. -The company doesn't put it's people first. The high turnover, tears in the workplace, and anxiety among employees reflects that. -People who create a toxic environment are promoted and encouraged -Lots of backstabbing at every level of the organization -Penny-pinching culture. It's only about cost savings. Not a fun environment if you've worked at a high growth company before. -Little to no product innovation. The company rides on its brand but soon the brand will be gone, then they'll be eaten up by new innovative technologies on the market. -Lack of advancement. It's rare you'll be promoted, unless you tout yourself or throw a fit -If you actually care about the company mission and the company, forget about it counting towards your future at this company. -Absolutely abysmal office environment because of the lack of resources and budget put towards employees and the toxic culture, or lack of culture for that matter

Pros

Work on making this a more suitable environment for women. There are no pros.

Cons

If you want to be sexually harassed and not have your female supervisor believe you and make you feel like you are the problem work here. If you want to be bullied by fellow female employees, objectified by men, and have nobody believe you, work here. It is absolutely disgusting the culture Rosetta Stone has created. It is vulgar. Absolutely vulgar. People would be cussing and I would have to tell me fellow coworkers to not to do because I was on sales calls. Stay FAR FAR away from Rosetta Stone.
