Pros

Great benefits, fun things happening around the campus to boost culture, pay is competitive, half the people here are decent people

Cons

I have never felt so digraded in my life by both management and other coworkers that have been here for long. People are always belittling others to try and maintain their position within the company. Half the people on the Inside Sales team are always worried about their job security. Many of the quotas are unattainable (unless you are selling unethically) and it is a sign of weakness to bring it to the attention of management. Most importantl- I have NEVER seen so many coworkers that have become depressed, go on leave, or develop substance abuse issues due to stress.

Pros

Some really smart, really engaged people work here, and if you are lucky, you will get to work with them. As a team lead, I do appreciate the training that the company provides. Pretty good benefits, and depending on your role, you may be able to work from home part-time.

Cons

Too many regime changes, too much "transformation"...every 6 months to 1 year, we get the rug pulled out from under us, and are expected to buy in to whatever senior management is selling at the time. Senior management have a very poor sense of how their actions impacts the people on the front lines, and how terrible morale negatively impacts the bottom line they care so much about. Pay for technical jobs is subpar and too dependent on how well you market yourself, not what you actually produce. No career growth for senior developers / technologists, except on a managerial path. On an HR note, the stacked ranking that was put in place in the last couple years was a terrible idea. The questions that it forces front line managers to ask are valuable, but the policy itself encourages cutthroat behavior, not collaboration. Did they not learn from other companies that tried this method and suffered for it? Onboarding of technical staff is not handled well. No training. It is very much up to the front line managers, some of whom have too many direct reports to be effective. Terminations / departures are also not handled well. Poor communication from upper-mid / senior management, who seem to have no clue that withholding information only blindsides the people on the front lines, those whose livelihoods are most impacted by such changes, and it breeds resentment and distrust.

Pros

From 1.5 year of experience working for these guys, The teams are run by immature egotistic one man show managers. In general the culture is to bully people into squeezing them like lemons. Extremely unprofessional.

Cons

I couldnt think of any pros so all the cons went in pros area.
