Pros

Compensation is competitive and benefits are excellent.

Cons

No leadership or direction, poor communication, sales execs expect workers to work long hours with no recognition. Senior managers ignore complaints of sexual harassment and hostile work environment. Teamwork is discouraged, while silos are encouraged, due to the competitive nature of the stacked ranking review process.

Pros

Working with people who are smart, resourceful and just plain nice. Good work / life balance.

Cons

Management goals and actions did not always align, and little communication of why the change in direction. Worker bees didn't trust their management in multiple areas of the company.
