Pros

Outstanding non-monetary compensation in the form of generous benefits, work from home, and steady focus on core competencies, loyal customers, technology works and does what we say it will do.

Cons

Poor handling of rewards & accolades, stingy with monetary compensation/bonuses, lack of integrated marketing & sales efforts, too many products/solutions, ugly interfaces, lots of tech & stats hype with little focus on the true gains of making or saving money, reducing risk, executing more effective campaigns, etc. Unwanted staff are targeted for layoffs in legal but immoral ways (set up for failure), lots of cronyism, especially among headquarters staff & old timers. Incompetent professional services project management jeopardizes post sales deployments.

Pros

Benefits: health coverage, on-site gym, childcare, healthcare center, and more. Work-life balance: predictable hours, flexibility for parents and a culture that doesn't expect you to grind 60-hour weeks.

Cons

Compensation lags the market, slow career advancement and promotions can take years. Change-resistant culture and new ideas move slowly. Leadership team manages up to just one person.
