Pros

A lot of opportunities to move roles within the company. Very competitive pay with great benefits. Awesome opportunities to travel and meet great customers.

Cons

Terrible work-life balance, they expect long hours and push you extremely hard with not a lot of recognition or performance appreciation. They unfairly pay women employees even though there has been an effort to correct it. In the Sales organization is still a very close-knit boys club with no women leaders. Politics will get the best of you rather than actually focusing on getting the job done

Pros

Excellent CRM company - I was so excited to be part of this amazing company.....then they had a reorg - then another - and on and on and on!!!

Cons

If you’re lucky enough to get with a good manager it’s awesome- but don’t get settled in because they reorg every year. There is no change management policy and people are just shuffled around with no consideration for career paths. My manager has zero leadership skills. 1/1s are cancelled often and experienced individuals on the team are underutilized. Lots of wasted time on developing processes that are never implemented. - this company operates as a startup! There are a lot of talented people here that will leave because their managers are stifling their growth and creativity and not allowing employees to use their skills. Very sad!

Pros

+ Visionary CEO + Philanthropic bent + Good pay and work/life balance + Exciting company (at least from the outside)

Cons

- Chaotic environment where leaders are continuously changing direction - Siloed teams with limited opportunities to learn and grow - Poor leaders (many who do not have the maturity for the positions they hold) - Very little emphasis on developing the team. Every boss is busy managing up. - Lots of average people - TONS of politics
