Pros

- Free beer - Exciting industry - Hard working employees

Cons

- No work/life balance. Expect to work 60-90 hours a week - Constant re-orgs and a forced ranking system where 10% of employees are put on “recovery plans” and often let go. This fear driven culture has led to an exodus of people. - Base salaries used to be competitive, but are now below market rates - Even if you hit 100% of your individual targets, the bonus payout is little to nothing as sales continue to fall at an increasing rate - Most people are unhappy. There is a significant trust issue within the company, but management does not care. It’s all about cutting cost. Unfortunately, this has led to falling sales as they are only hiring college grads with no experience since experienced sales and marketing professionals would want a competitive wage and reasonable culture.

Pros

Great Benefits, Great Coworkers, Cafe at HQ

Cons

Position was eliminated following 10 years of dedicated service, with no transition placement or internal employment opportunities provided. I also don't believe the company knows or understands it's own culture.
