Pros

Being able to work from home

Cons

Probably the worst, unorganized company I have ever worked for! Management couldn't plan their way out of a paper bag.... and now the company is hemorrhaging money. Having to sell of huge portions of the company just to stay afloat. HOWEVER, all of the executive management team still get their HUGE pay, pay rises, and bonuses. The likes of the average worker has not seen a pay rise or promotion in over 5 years! Goals are a joke.... why even have them if no possibility of promotion or pay rise. My boss often told us that the only way to get ahead in this company is to leave! So I did!!!!!

Pros

Medical Benefits are very good. Not a lot of micromanagement unless your leader doesnt understand the resources to pull this info. AI is highly encouraged, not required... which is a nice balance.

Cons

Random layoffs every couple months. Kate Johnson doesn't understand the importance of credibility in this space. Q1 customer meetings are majority introduction meetings due to constant account realignment. Leadership pretends to believe they know these are large enterprise accounts, but their actions reflect a transactional sales approach.
