Pros

Downtown location is great if you live close by or don’t mind commuting through the traffic Most are asked to do more than their job description states which can be helpful to add skills to your resume Parking spot downtown Benefits are comparable to other similar companies

Cons

High turnover due to burning out employees - they do require you to work more than 40 hours and this was not mentioned in the interview process Very much good old boys culture, top of executives all have each other’s backs and will throw people under the bus to cover themselves Some departments just do not have the technical infrastructure to run at the level required for a publicly traded corporation - many processes are outdated and change is not welcome so this can be frustrating - issues are blamed on employees, usually new ones Management reviews are not useful and should be taken with a grain of salt You will be told that you can go to management about anything, but this is untrue, everything goes in one ear and out the other unless it can be used against you later There is definitely a “smile to your face, then stab you in the back” feel to the work environment, leading to distrust between fellow employees

Pros

Great industry, decent pay. If you're family has ties to CEO, Tom Ray, you could be a SVP before your 30!

Cons

The CEO has previously terminated 2 and possibly 3 Sales SVP's without cause just prior to large deals closing in order to avoid paying money that would have been owed to them. He has also terminated the CTO and General Counsel prior the their IPO under similar circumstances. In at least one of these cases, law suits were filed and multi-million dollar settlements were paid but the behavior continues unabated.

Pros

Company offers stock grants though many people do not see them through to vesting.

Cons

The biggest problem with this company is it's culture and it starts up top, where it is a struggle to manage employees. Politics are extreme, and this becomes very apparent right off the bat. It seems that everyone is replaceable except for the CEO who takes no accountability for his mistakes. The "if you don't like it leave" comment has become an inside joke that "if you do like it, we will push you out."
