      Pros

      Overall, a very nice place to be employed. The employees are topnotch, intelligent, and hardworking. The work that the company does is highly commendable, and I am generally very proud to tell people that I work here. The benefits are good, management is approachable, but very busy, and work schedules are flexible including enabling most of us to do some or all work from home.

      Cons

      Pay scales are way off in some areas. While a seemingly endless number of Chief-(fill in the blank)-Officers are hired from outside firms, and software engineers are lured in at high salaries, lower level employees work for less than the going rate and are given yearly, minute raises, if any. In my position, I make over 15% less than what the market dictates. I've seen it before, and it's a wonderful family-owned company that has been bought out by a big investment firm, and the bottom line is profitability. We've seen department budgets decrease as the company excels. Also, in certain positions, there is no opportunity whatsoever to advance. Jack Lynch was a great CEO and is a loss to the company.

      Pros

      Some of the most amazing people you’ll ever work with. Generally supportive peers. Leaders are kind and not intentionally toxic. Strong brand recognition and a variety of solutions to enable solution selling.

      Cons

      The culture of the organization seems to have succumbed to the broader climate surrounding politics and education. Immense pressure is placed on sales team to deliver in saturated territories with beyond unachievable quotas for some and cake quotas for others. No cost of living increases, lots of layoffs and unclear path for growth with an egregious lack of transparency from leadership about the glaring issues. NONE of this seems intentional or malicious-it just seems like a lot of behaviors caused by extreme desperation.
