Pros

Great offices, the SF offices are amazing work spaces. Good benefits, the sabbatical is a unique benefit. Stable job, by the standards of the least stable industry in the world anyway. The senior level management seems to be genuinely intent on making the company a great place to work. Interesting technologies and new concepts, fun to discuss the possibilities.

Cons

In the sales org, you are held to weekly call metrics and activity reporting. If you come from a consultative environment and are used to managing your own schedule, it feels like a step back. There is more micromanagement than you would expect, primarily for the benefit of the bureaucracy. The sales management comes from a PC software sales environment instead of enterprise solutions environment, so the management model follows. Understand what you are signing up for as they make it sound like you are going to a solution sales company in the interview process.... There are a lot of cliques among the people who have been in place for years. Not that they will be outwardly hostile to new hires, but you kind of feel like you are not a full fledged member of the club.

Pros

Relatively good work-life balance but depends on groups.

Cons

Very political. Average age of the workers is quite old. Inefficient processes, poor infrastructure with out-dated systems that do not talk to each other.

Thank you for your feedback. We (HR and Talent Acquisition) do extensive bench-marking against other technology companies in the Bay Area and beyond to ensure we stay competitive in the market with salaries and benefits. That said, things change quickly -- particularly in engineering. If you would like to talk further on this topic, reach out to your manager or HR business partner. If you think we're far off, we'd like to hear it and make changes if needed! -Andrew Levy
