Pros

Smart aggressive team. Industry verticalization has merit. Co-operation is emphasized. Impressive technology.

Cons

Brutal corporate culture, this job is not for everyone. Compensation plan has been steadily getting worse. Unfortunately, territory changes have been disruptive, and commission sharing has become the norm.

Business Outlook

Pros

Great people who are passionate, caring, and professional at the lower levels. Great benefits, fun programs (when they can get their act together)...mostly it's the people and the great product idea.

Cons

New VP of HR is unimpressive and pushing a culture of 80+ hr work weeks, doesn't know her HR, and is generally unprofessional, hugging employees, talking down like they're her kids, doesn't give an impression of knowing HR. Lack of product development has lead too many clients to other companies, and it's hard to be measured on client retention if they're leaving because of technology and not my service (though new CTO is promising)
