Compensation is Falling Behind

Pros

Great technology, twice weekly catered lunches.

Cons

Only 80% coverage on Prescriptions. Salaries are falling behind the market. Bonuses have been limited even though we are making a profit, no replacement for RSU when we were public. C level management needs a refresh, with new ideas. Sales needs to work on their customer reputation (the only reason they make the sales they do is the products, most techs know to avoid the free tools due to the overbearing sales pitch). We are losing a lot of senior staff to better paying companies.

Pros

- Some very smart people working on some really great products. - Lots of opportunities for career development for people performing well. I have seen numerous examples this year already of people moving into new roles and being given development opportunities. - Great work life balance. Best of any company I have worked at.

Cons

Is it perfect? No. However the pros definitely outweigh the cons. Sometimes it can take a while for things to get approved and senior management could perhaps be a little less interfering but on the whole my experience of working here has been very positive.

Pros

Catered lunches, promotion from within, good pay, benefits, great business education.

Cons

Like any corporate sales organization, it comes with stressful quotas and a necessity for viral growth pushed from the top down.
