Pros

The people! If it wasn't for my coworkers, I would have jumped ship ages ago.

Cons

Management! Micro-management, ignorance of the real issues, decision making processes that ignore the consumer. The execs do not invest in suggestions or feedback from frontline workers who, on a *daily* basis deal with the issues the membership faces. We know the complaints, we know what pain points need to be addressed. Every once in a while, we are approached by Director / VP level management to review our feedback on what our membership wants, yet absolutely nothing is every done with this feedback. Ever. We have brought up suggestions upteen number of times to have it glossed over.

Pros

Generally smart, high quality folks. User centric, business focused, very analytical, strategic, and results oriented. Interesting business, lots of opportunity to move around to different business units and internationally. Challenging work abounds. parity salary and bonus with other large silicon valley consumer internet companies. benefits ok

Cons

Extremely political organization. With many smart people...this sometimes happens, there are some who forget it's not just about their own achievement and success to the detriment of everything and anyone else. Strangely enough, saw very arbitrary behavior and decisions being made in this extremely "smart" organization. Rather counter-intuitive, but likely explained by the political nature of the company. Just be very aware of the environment if you join. Develop allies and network quickly in your first year. Your performance will not matter if you haven't done this well.
