Pros

The work can be interesting and the clients are appreciative and see the value of the service the company is providing. You'll work with intelligent people who are motivated.

Cons

Management's goal of growth isn't aligned with their sales compensation plan and has lead to many disincentivized workers. There are only increases in compensation when you are promoted to a new title, and upward mobility is severely limited. Two people on my team haven't seen an increase despite good performance reviews in 3 and 5 years respectively. Also to note, this year quotas increased roughly 30% with no increase in pay. It's hard to hear the mantra of "we are dedicated to recruiting and retaining top talent," when the structure in place does anything but that.

Pros

Amazing people - lots of reviews say that because it's true. You'll work with smart, genuine, hard working humans. Good benefits and perks. Interesting events and opportunities to learn. Overall, a good place to start your career!

Cons

Very fast-paced environment which definitely isn't for everyone. Lots of necessary change.

Pros

People at the peer level are great and you learn about some interesting industries

Cons

This is the worst place I have ever worked. Management does not care about you. They put on a front, but push and push and ask for more no matter how hard you work. You can be a top performer, but if you leave on time to go home they're not happy. It's never enough and the work never ends. It's just not worth it.
