Pros

We have free vitamin water, iced tea, tea options and coke.

Cons

They have never been a company of their word. They said we would be remote. We’re not. They said we would be 2 days a week. That changed. They said we had the option to go the accout management route or the account executive role after 12 months. They changed that. You are now forced into one of those roles depending on what type of BDR you are PLUS the promotion process is now an 18 month long process with minimal to no training. Upper management will be kind to your face and pretend everyone is family, but then trash talk every employee there is. It is not a safe space. Lastly, do not believe them when they say they have faith in a strong next few months. Do not believe them if they say there will be no more layoffs. It is a real shame that the company has gone downhill so fast, it used to be so great.

Pros

Every group/division can be different in how they treat their employees, but I'd say overall there is very good atmosphere of trust and fairness. There is a strong focus on education, and they reimburse for outside classes taken (Up to 5k/year I think). Benefits are good, and I'd say quite competitive in the market. Good 401K matching (they'll contribute a max of 3% of your 6% or greater). Free drinks in the breakroom. Flexibility to work from home at times. (If you live 50+ miles away from an office you can work full-time from home...policy).

Cons

They don't try to make the workplace anything special (maybe a pool table and arcade game are cliche or gimmicky?). In the 10 years I've worked there, they've given 2 measly %1 cost of living raises (this is the same with most everyone I've spoken to, some don't get any raises). You will not get a substantial raise ever, unless you leave then get rehired on (they will not match offers, better to leave). New employees that you train will make 10 - 20K more than you several years after you hire on (not just me, they do this to all tenured employees). They will give these untrained, less experienced people higher titles (again this is done to everyone not just me). You learn pretty quickly that you're dispensable. The company has billions in cash and they don't re-invest in their employees, just in acquiring new companies and hiring new people that know nothing that you get to train.
