Pros

Salaries and benefits not bad..... hard to be too positive with this very fractured, large organization. New leadership in healthcare division promising for the future.

Cons

There are many layers of bureaucracy, poor execution and acccountability. Literally told one answer from one division, completely turned around and undefended by another. Very difficult once you need internal support..... HR, operations, development, marketing specifically. If you work in the sales environment, offers of the latest wizbang sales training is where the leadership places most of their energy yearly in a very expensive, showy frenetic annual meeting with extremely long hours. If these funds were redirected in development and implementation of new product timelines, regional or divisional sales meetings would produce better results . Commission structure and plans change every year, when it should be more predictable. Often complete lack of understanding of the differences in enterprise sales versus the sexy consumer products. Heavy, heavy layers of management which needs to change. Are the shareholders paying attention ???

Pros

The company offers excellent training and a thorough onboarding process, helping new hires feel well-prepared and confident. The small, close-knit teams foster a collaborative and supportive work environment where you never feel lost in the crowd. Employees take pride in the innovative technology and software being developed, which is recognized as impactful within the industry. (Note: The company was acquired by Microsoft to bring potential for future growth.)

Cons

While the company excels in many areas, there’s limited upward mobility, especially in certain career paths, which can be frustrating for those seeking advancement. Additionally, feedback from employees often feels like it’s not taken seriously, which can lead to disengagement when trying to influence change or improve processes.
