Pros

Great benefits & co-workers, great place to get in shape if you are a fitness buff or wanting to learn about getting fit, there's a small gym at the headquarters in Middlebury, and a great cafeteria. They have flexible hours, so if you have kids, you can leave early.

Cons

There is so much red tape in the way of actually getting things done (it mirrors the political gridlock in Washington). Those in upper management positions often seem to completely misunderstand how to engage with customers, and seem to be far less in touch with technology than they should be. They would prefer to spend money hiring outside agencies than developing internal talent. They want to continue doing the things that have or haven't worked for them in the past, instead of trying to be creative and fresh.

Pros

Employees are extremely positive and surrounded by a lot of hardworking individuals. Most people are trying to do a good job and move the company in the right direction. When necessary, the company is great about unlimited personal/sick time and plenty of ability to rollover any unused vacation time. Sometimes, there’s a lot of downtime, but it’s becoming less common.

Cons

The executive team’s leadership is severely lacking. Despite their inability to navigate the organization effectively, they continue to demand upward mobility for their employees. When employees are unable to meet these expectations, they are subjected to harsh criticism and unreasonable demands. The executive team prioritizes its own interests over those of the employees who are responsible for the work. Issues are only addressed when the executive team is directly affected. The organizational processes are inadequate. Employees are constantly required to reassess procedures and provide explanations to every level of the company. There is a lack of overall direction and a sense of individual autonomy within each department. Departments operate independently, resulting in inconsistencies and difficulties in achieving alignment.
