      Pros

      - Depending on the day of the week free Lunch or Breakfast - Cabinets always filled with good snacks and drinks. - Co workers have become friends for life. - Company Hosted Events i.e. Presidents Club - Promoting Synergy in and out of the office... right TOB

      Cons

      - Constant Change - Layoffs -Unlimited PTO, but in sales you can't actual utilize it. - Micromanagement/too many pointless meetings - Quotas are clearly set by someone who has never spoken to a customer… or used the product. - There’s a growing gap between the mission statement and the mission reality — think ‘Grand Canyon,’ but with more Slack channels. - Once a marketer’s best friend, now a lead-gen tool for the sales team via mysterious lockouts - and the quota is still super hard to reach. - Performance-based culture: where underperformers get innovation... in the form of new obstacles and the top schmoozers get layups with luxury payouts.

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Work with good people. Everyone on the us non-sales side sincerity seems to want to do good work. Some people are paid well, others not so much.

      Cons

      Out of touch, non-diverse management team who dump stock without explanation. Layoffs that seem random and no explanation. Overseas developers make mystifying decisions about product direction.
