Pros

-Pay is above market standard. Very impressive. -Benefits are very good. If you got in the company at the right time, you're feeling blessed by the Employee Stock Purchase Plan. -Great culture. -Cutting edge product and amazing Sales department that isn't afraid to invest in success. -Brilliant leadership by one of the best CEOs I've ever worked for. -I feel like the work I do is meaningful.

Cons

-Right now there is a massive Global push, but resources aren't being added to make the transition more feasible. What you're left with is a bunch of employees who are deflated and overworked. -Little to no recognition for accomplishments. I don't even think that HR announces most promotions. Some Sr. Directors or VPs may get recognized for role changes but that's it. -Not a clear pathway for advancement. I don't even know what the next step up would be for me. -No clear definition of roles. Middle management will throw more responsibilities on you but rarely promote you. -Too political at times. Lack of vision in our department

Pros

Great benefits, great people, they pay well. Interesting product and strong brand recognition.

Cons

This went from being a really great place in 2009 - 2011, but then it all fell apart in the last year. Now they have blown out all of the old senior leadership and replaced them with people who have a fundamentally different set of values and priorities. The marketing department has been in a constant state of flux for 18 months, and the recent changes have been for the worse, not the better. Personal lives and work/life balance are no longer respected. Face time is prioritized above all else, far more important than results. Where we had a culture that was collaborative and based on teamwork and mutual respect, we are now expected to play politics and everybody is out for themselves. CYA, finger pointing, and ignoring the problems are the only way to survive the new regime. If they don't like you, they will make your life miserable until you quit.
