Pros

- Company does interesting and important things for the infrastructure of our world.

Cons

- You're no one if you're not in a HQ office or in Germany. - No career growth opportunities unless you're at the HQ or an engineer. - Marketing/Communications are not seen as a valued part of the business. - Constant restructuring and changes for business reporting purposes only. - Moving through a flat but highly bureaucratic organization, means your career stagnates and moves in circles unless you're an engineer or at HQ. - Bad employees are allowed to linger in positions, meaning good employees pick-up more work with less recognition. - During my exit interview I was told that high achieving employees rarely stay more than 3 years. - The most common thing I head during my time with the company was, "That's not part of my job description."

Pros

Competitive pay, flex vacation/ PTO

Cons

Organizational restructuring seems more frequent than other companies I’ve worked for. Constant changes in processes. In four years I’ve seen change in incentive plan twice and not for the better even though they’ll tell you it is. You can make great money in sales still. Corporate alignment of rollouts of product timeline v. actual reality in the area level.
