Pros

Some bright, interesting, articulate people in many cases. Some really bad managers but .... I've met some really nice people.

Cons

At this point, I'm not sure there are good reasons to work here. No work/life balance at all. Workday. Worknight. Workweekends. No support of the unlimited PTO -- downright discouraged, in fact. It is a scam! Everyone pastes on a smile but employee resources are short and to do lists are long .... and salaries are laughable. The patina wears off and people start to talk --- there are some really unhappy campers, here.

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.
