A sinking ship

Pros

If you get hired, you can coast, look busy, and get paid for longer than you should.

Cons

The overall culture is a bunch of shrugged shoulders while leadership guts the company to maintain top-level cronyism. This company cannot get out of its own way.

Avoid - No Direction

Pros

The benefits were decent and the coworkers were nice

Cons

Did not have direction. Goals are unreachable to the point I basically did not have a pay raise from my previous job as there was 0 chance to make the numbers they expected. Did not listen to feedback.

Pros

Pay is great while it lasted, spend way over industry standard to try and covet people who are in better companies, lots of short term band-aid thinking.

Cons

So many cuts of the good staff I've have lost count. Somehow the cheats, the toxic, the gossipers and the yes men/women are sticking around. Business trips to India, Portugal, Thailand and Ireland suddenly turn in extended holidays all too frequently, its a concerning trend, some of the management are milking the company dry in plain sight. 2 orgs that seem to run the show Renewals Leadership and Finance... both of whom are preventing net new sales to grow. Most new roles are opening in cheaper cost centres, on paper it looks good but they are missing out on in region talent for which they cannot seem to comprehend.
