Pros

The main pro to me is a benefits package which is good compared to many US employers- they offer medical, vision, dental, all kinds of pets insurances and childcare benefits... In my experience, too, the vast majority of people are ambitious, professional, and willing to help, but depends entirely on what team/business unit you're with (more on that below)

Cons

There is absolutely no sense of everyone at Cision being part of the same company. Historically, everyone has operated in silos. New management is trying to change that, but that sort of cultural change takes years. Don't expect to get to know many people outside your immediate team and office for now. Because of this rift between Cision's divisions, employees continue to communicate inefficiently and spend time and energy saving their work in 5 different places and hunting down things that should be available more easily.

Pros

Decent work life balance, some good teammates who care about each other and the company makes payroll on time (for most people)

Cons

The executives can’t stand each other and can’t make decisions, so the rest of us were left running in circles. Revenue has declined every year and it keeps getting worse. We had at least 4 layoffs a year and they never communicate them — one day your coworkers just don’t show up. Everyone is constantly looking over their shoulder. The best people have already left because they see the writing on the wall. The products aren’t good and aren’t getting better. They keep talking about Nexus but no one knows what it means or who even wants it. Numbers change depending on who’s presenting them and why. There’s no consistent story on targets internally, which makes it impossible to plan or prioritize anything. PE ownership and puppets in the C Suite meant that every decision gets filtered through “what does this look like for the exit” rather than what’s actually good for the business or the people in it. Compensation hasn’t kept up, especially after layoffs when your workload doubles and nothing changes in your paycheck. No real investment in development either. Bottom line: you’re a headcount, not a person. And they manage by spreadsheet not logic.
