Pros

Salary is very good, work environment is clean and professional.

Cons

The sales management are not the best at nurturing the best out of their employees. You could have an excellent year, but have 2 bad months in a quarter and you're put on a performance improvement plan, a third month missing your numbers and you're gone.

Pros

Remote work, good health insurance

Cons

Lots of RIFs, poor technical leadership in the highest levels, lots of wasted money and resources on third party vendors and contractors to just abandon those projects or vendors in short order. Poorly thought out data management decisions. Company is trying their hardest to look like a modern tech company with modern values, but most of it is virtue signaling.
