Pros

Great place to work until about two years ago

Cons

The culture is a illusion , At one time it was real but not any more with the new leadership it's just another soul sucking waste of life.

Pros

good work-life balance; easy to skate by if your leader is in favor with the ELT; mostly good people

Cons

bias of niceness is killing productivity; certain execs are ruining the overall culture; doesn't make data driven decisions but relies on leaders the ELT trusts

It’s a man’s world in the sales org unfortunately. Ever since Carl took over the culture is taking a nosedive.
