Pros

Good marketing expereince, job rotation is encouraged. People are generally smart, most are MBAs. Senior leadership is stable. Work life balance is excellent.

Cons

Not a true meritocracy, clique-ish. Not a lot of innovation. Senior management ove communicates, but is slow to act. Middle management (Dir and VPs) take advantage of work-life balance arrangements and are not too productive. This affects strategy development and focus on results. Not a results-driven culture.

Pros

- Complimentary lunch and starbucks everyday - On-site clinic for basic check ups - Hybrid

Cons

you will be taking phone calls every minute of the day. There will come a time where you feel like at the bottom of the world. You will ask yourself "is my role in life to help people reset their password online and assist them in logging in?" You cannot use the bathroom whenever you want, they have time coding that if you "abuse" them you will be flagged and subject to discipline. You have to give world class service but at the same time rush them off the phone or else you are not getting paid a good bonus. You will quickly find yourself gasping for air and time to relax when you take 50+ calls a day , you will feel drained. When is finally time to move up there is a high chance you will be paid less than you're current role as there are no bonuses in higher roles.
