Salary Flexibility (depending on your manager) Great co-workers

Cons

Leadership is awful Poor retention Benefits have gone downhill Unlimited vacation (compared to previously generous PTO policy, everyone knows UV sucks) Stifled creativity in favor of traffic Sense of urgency around matters that are not at all urgent Promotions based on favoritism, not merit So many reorgs = low morale Ugly website

Pros

Was offered a pretty good salary with decent medical coverage. An array of advertising inventories to craft proposals - their own cable TV channel, online site and social media handle.

Cons

Have to work with executives that do not have a sense of urgency, only got informed of certain tasks at the very last minute. Still using outdated sales recording system instead of Salesforce, alongside TV logging system that is user-unfriendly. Bosses like to monitor user status via Slack, creepy much. Also, a platform to dump tasks that should be communicated via email. Conferences start either super early or super late due to the 13-hour difference from the US.
