Pros

The people you work with are genuinely good people and fun to work with and spend time with. Compensation is competitive, if not towards the higher end.

Cons

This is not a tech company. There is nothing innovative being built or anything revolutionary about the product. It’s purely a sales and marketing company led by the boys club in Provo. Decisions are made - and changed regularly- by the leadership and inputs from rank and file ignored. The reality is that the business is a bubble ripe for popping. It’s a survey company that the leadership has sold its customers on a vision they can’t execute on. (Even SAP bought into this before realizing the truth and selling the company) Once the company gets you in with competitive pay, don’t expect any significant increases. Promotions are hard to come by - a tedious and embarrassing process that makes you beg to your colleagues for recommendations when you want a promotion. Once you get it - the compensation increase is normally < 5%. Management gives lip service to employee experience, but really has very little respect for employees. Employees are replaceable and looked down upon. The weekly TGIT company meetings are really just pep rallies and sales pitches.

Pros

Free lunch and that’s everything

Cons

* No company vision * Pay is mediocre * Lack of growth opportunities * HR is TRASH! You will not be heard nonetheless * Sales driven, which is fine, but that changes every decision the company makes * Lack of product direction mainly because management sucks!! They cannot even prepare a decent product strategy document for a given FY. They ask the L4-L7 levels to come with product goals that they think are important! As long as you produce a BS concept on AI for your product, you are a star, you don’t have to even deliver it! Success metrics are only for the papers, they don’t care if they’re generating any revenue from it!
