Pros

- Some really smart, conscientious co-workers (emphasis on some) - Good career-building experience - Pre-buyout, terrific internal training and investment in employees

Cons

- Zero career advancement opportunities - Total breakdown in communication at every level, every day - Morale-breaking organizational decisions - Lackluster executive team in love with the sound of their own voices - No equity and long dry spell with no bonuses listening to sales get offered incentive after incentive - Stuck on a private equity LBO hamster wheel that seems to only be speeding up over time - Cavalcade of VPs being hired, but no new resources to do the work they generate - Competing priorities that constantly shif - Compete lack of creativity and initiative - Culture seems purposely divisive, siloed, and hierarchical - Pays lip-service to being customer-first - Unlimited PTO a farce if you have to work when you take it - Company so lean that there's no redundancy or back-up - "Quality" is a foreign concept - Collaboration loses out to competition and complacency - Lack of clarity of roles and responsibilities, despite constantly talking about it
