Pros

The company touts great customer service, focus on employees, and work-life balance. Most employees are nice, hard working people that care about each other and the customers. The offices are clean, modern, and well designed.

Cons

The pay is lousy for the work, and not at all competitive. There are countless empty promises of career development, even if you are a top performer and exceed all metrics. People that have the worst work performance and terrible attitudes get promoted because management likes them. This is a highly political working environment, with the best talent quick to leave once they figure out that the poor attitude trickles down from poor top and middle management.

Pros

People are great, I have created amazing connections and friendships along the way. Fun work environment we work hard but are able to play harder. Global reach, often connecting with people around the world.

Cons

Not much mobility and constant change. Hard to be stable in that kind of environment. Many times the plan is not fully complete before expecting execution and very siloed creating duplication of effort and work.
