Pros
There are some highly competent and intelligent people who have helped keep a dangerously lean marketing organization afloat. The pay was average for the technology sector but the benefits were not.
Cons
The consistent headcount cuts and rotating CMOs have left the organization in shambles. Those left in marketing are faced with long work hours, dwindling resource and are at the mercy of a CMO who is desperately trying to prove value to the C-suite at any cost. Employees are burning out, the good ones are leaving or on the verge of leaving and the quality of work is suffering. The phrase "if you can make it here, you can make it anywhere" was commonplace, and that, frankly, is not a good sign. Beyond marketing, the company has been struggling financially and not matching 401Ks due to a lack of revenue. Avaya was downgraded by Moody's as well and the ship seems to be sinking. The latest round of layoffs have left gaps in key business areas that will not be filled.
