Pros

Great people and excellent benefits. Job security and stability is solid. Amazing products and company track record. Sense of pride and confidence in product offerings. Global footprint with strong support for internal mobility.

Cons

Organization culture is fractured resulting in silo effect from one department to the next. Company is not transparent and offers limited insight across departments. Feedback to management is rarely acknowledged and action on feedback is rarely implemented or supported. Conservative nature limits flexibility in the market and inhibits growth. Innovation and leadership potential of middle Managment is not supported. Compensation structure is short sighted and compensation increases are rarely given (not even cost of living adjustments). Commissions and incentives do not support or encourage growth because departments are incentivized in contradictory ways. Basic business and sales metrics are not in place or not enforced resulting in limited capacity to understand and improve key performer indicators.

Pros

-People here are great, I made friendships that go beyond the job. -The benefits are pretty good, employee contributions are on the lower end. I also appreciate the PTO day for community service and the fitness reimbursement plan. -I love the employee events like birthday treats (when they still had them) and the holiday party

Cons

-There is little to no internal promotion opportunities anymore. When roles have opened up, they have gone to external candidates, or they bring someone in from the location in Europe. -Patchy communications from corporate, as well as corporate boasting the record-breaking profits on the internet, and then our bonuses would get cut - left a bad taste in everyone's mouth. -Salaries are pretty frugal -Senior management seem to be in a micromanagement mindset and caring about the wrong things -HR and management have made some bad choices when it comes to employees lately that I don't agree with
