The pay is okay. That is about it, but this thing makes me keep writing more.

Pros

Wonderful benefits across the board with a great culture. Rewarding work being around so many bright, motivated people doing a lot of cutting edge stuff.

Cons

On-boarding can be very, very overwhelming and takes several months. It is well documented but often lacks the human interaction with many teams all being in different locations, not in person.

Pros

Good benefits and relevant products and solutions for each vertical. Known name in the industry.

Cons

Managers do not recognize what their employees do for them. They take credit and make sure they are in line for bonus and stock before lower employees are recognized. If there are problems it is always the lower level employees fault.
