Pros

Excellent benefits! (Annual Bonuses, Excellent 401K Matching program, home/work environment is amazing.) Great coworkers. Nearly everyone there is awesome to work with.

Cons

One word: Management. However this is really focused on the Sales and Business Development side, and specifically in areas outside of the flagship Chicago office. While working within the Chicago office, and with the corresponding team is bar none - there is a complete reversal of fortunes for those tasked with working in other "development" areas.

Pros

The open door policy is real here. If you have an idea or want to contribute outside of your “scope”, all you have to do is ask. The start-up mentality is still there, everyone is willing to roll their sleeves up and get the work done. No matter what their title is.

Cons

Bigger organizations have more resources so this might not be the best place if you want to focus on only one specific area.

Pros

Ownership finally sold the company, hopefully providing current employees some time to make the decision to stay on or to find new employment.

Cons

The sales team understands how to sell product, with no understanding on how to sell professional consulting services. This led to 7 figure losses for their professional services teams in certain quarters. Ownership instead of empowering and retooling the sales engine, spent the better part of two years attempting to make the books look good while prepping for a sale and 3 layoffs in 2 years.
