Pros

- good benefits - laid-back environment although it depends on the team

Cons

- as others said, you need to know the right people to advance in career - career management is non-existent (poor goal setting, limited career discussions, only formal evaluations without defining a clear career path) - no clear definition of who does what and therefore your title/level in the organization is all that matters for your voice to be heard - high-level management changes that negatively affect day to day operations

Pros

Great culture at the peer to peer level. Excellent learning opportunities, good benefits and great name for resume.

Cons

Pretend to be transparent but a lot of smoke & mirrors. Significant cuts to comp plans & commissions that resulted in challenging pay cuts. While salaries were not reduced the OTE is no longer achievable and it’s a difference of thousands monthly, can’t even sell stock because it’s tanked. That being said, we’re disappointed in comp and stock but grateful to be employed because It’s no longer a matter of if you’ll be laid off but when.
