Pros

Not many after the time that I left. Snacks I suppose

Cons

Extremely heavy, slow process makes development slow. Way too many meetings, way too much overhead. Mid level management is toxic. Promotions and pay raises are extremely political. Pay isn't even high to begin with. No real work flexibility, they gatekeep remote work for people who have been at the company for many, many years. No sense of camaraderie, managers don't care about the people.

Pros

Great culture at the peer to peer level. Excellent learning opportunities, good benefits and great name for resume.

Cons

Pretend to be transparent but a lot of smoke & mirrors. Significant cuts to comp plans & commissions that resulted in challenging pay cuts. While salaries were not reduced the OTE is no longer achievable and it’s a difference of thousands monthly, can’t even sell stock because it’s tanked. That being said, we’re disappointed in comp and stock but grateful to be employed because It’s no longer a matter of if you’ll be laid off but when.
