Pros

A lot of really smart people to learn from, some of whom are even willing to impart some knowledge to junior staff. Benefits are decent; unlimited PTO, dollar for dollar 401k match up to 6% of salary.

Cons

Arrogant leadership who are more focused on micromanaging you than helping you develop. There are some super smart people working here, and some of those people seem to have forgotten that it was a long journey for them to get to that level. Junior staff need coaching, mentorship, and to be encouraged to develop, not mocked for what they don’t yet know. There needs to be a clear path and agreed upon milestones to reaching the next level. When I asked my manager, what do I need to do to be promoted to the next level? Their answer was, I don’t know, what do you think? This is unacceptable. Managers I have dealt with are terrible at managing people. Super smart and capable at managing projects and resources. But not at developing and coaching and managing PEOPLE.

Pros

Competitive pay, flex vacation/ PTO

Cons

Organizational restructuring seems more frequent than other companies I’ve worked for. Constant changes in processes. In four years I’ve seen change in incentive plan twice and not for the better even though they’ll tell you it is. You can make great money in sales still. Corporate alignment of rollouts of product timeline v. actual reality in the area level.
