Pros

- Good salary, benefits and overall flexible working environment - Professional coworkers that are committed to what they do - Management has its head on right and is generally making the right calls - Training is second to none, the company does its best to keep everyone up to speed - Industry leader in marketing applications, and they acquired one of the better companies in town - Moving to a truly Agile model with surprising alacrity

Cons

- Toxic infighting. Some teams have bitter rivalries with others, and management isn't doing much to dissuade it -Silo effect. A lot of knowledge revolves around a few people that are determined to wall off their systems or knowledge - Lack of proactive, modern thinking among some engineers and a strong attitude of "we've always done it this way" - Analysis paralysis with some of the engineering leaders - Company has a (likely painful) transition period ahead in the next fiscal year, as some of the fundamental biz dynamics and technologies are changing

Pros

The employees (non-management) are fun, engaging, hard working, and very dedicated to their task list. The company has a nice break room.

Cons

They do not provide adequate work stations and expect you to bring your own gear if you want to do your job well. The management team prizes micromanagement and requires their involvement for trivial decisions, such as when to use an if statement vs a switch statement. The management team is looking for yes-men to not question anything.

Pros

Starts out like the perfect job. Then reality shows up. Product is great and very focused on key objectives. Training is great and San Diego office is amazing.

Cons

Sales management is totally unaligned with new employees. Inner circle will not allow anyone else to join and fosters an environment that is totally hostile. The tenure employees forget what it is like not to know an answer. They have a totally crazy way they make you expense entertainment and typically don't pay much of your expenses one incurred for business.
