Lovely work environment. Caring managers. Flexible hours. Free breakfast daily. Fun work.

Cons

Promotions seem to be tough to get. Staff retention at junior levels can be an issue. As with entire industry, pay is not great.

Pros

A lot of nice people and great books to work with.

Cons

Very antiquated systems. Sales teams and a lot of teams are in bubbles. There are a good amount of managers and higher ups that have been there for a while (10-30 years) and they don't like change, make their teams life hell, and keep them more siloed.
