Pros

The original founder, Kent Plunkett, purchased Salary.com back from IBM in January 2016. Since then Kent has made serious strides to improve the product as well as the culture - brand new office in Waltham - fun environment - great product with new releases being launched - invest in technology - amazing perks (4 weeks vacation, 401k match, cell phone reimbursement, etc). - if on sales team they invest in training for you (internally and externally) - room to grow

Cons

As of now I do not have any cons. I have had a positive experience since I joined Salary.com
