      Pros

      Benefits, competitive and challenging environment, safe place to work, shutdown period, sport tournaments, work opportunity given to people with no experience (grad students).

      Cons

      Limited professional growth and exposure, specially for level 4 employees. Limited opportunities given to follow career development path. No equal recognition to employees. Limited work-life balance. Temp/contract workers are treated differently from regular staff (no participation in meetings, activities, etc).

      Pros

      Decent salaries, benefits aren't at all bad, plenty of paid vacation, ability to work from home

      Cons

      Benefits decrease every year. RIFs get announced out of the blue and then they drag on for months. Many upper manager perceived as poor managers or leaders.

      Pros

      Fair pay, great benefits even though they are not as good as what they once were. 401K is outstanding. Employee Stock purchase plan is good. Great culture to work within on the sales/marketing side.

      Cons

      Sales is still concerned with Reach and Frequency vs quality of the call. Mgmt is employing the 90's sales model, "more reps per territory is better". This limits access in larger customer orgs = fewer sales opportunities
