Pros

About all this place has going for it is location -- it has offices in many very attractive places, including most major US cities.

Cons

Completely sales-driven. Post-sales staff (Project and Account Managers) are completely at the mercy of a largely incompetent sales team, and led by a sad careerist who works his staff into the ground for remarkably poor compensation. Management is limited to range-of-the-moment wrangling designed to quickly bleed customers of as much money as possible; the concept of "partnership" is lost on this company. Company's technology is widely acknowledged as awful among internal staff, yet peddled relentlessly to customers, which then becomes the client services team's liability. Leadership has no vision, no scruples, and no regard for its employees.

Pros

Provides strong opportunities for travel, especially around conferences. The company makes a strong effort to onboard and support new employees and clients. There are many great colleagues to connect with and learn from.

Cons

My experience was that leadership lacked clear direction and timely decision-making. The culture felt transactional, with employee retention and development taking a back seat to short-term financial performance.
