Pros

Some good middle managers which is rare Good benefits and comp

Cons

Toxic, fake-nice culture, the company is held together by politics. Unbelievably understaffed and no regard at all for work life balance. No strategy, just an infinite loop of spreadsheets and useless meetings and managers running around in all directions trying to look good. Your priorities and deadlines change every other week with no consultation. Your VP will assume you’re not doing your job and, at the best of times, impart some of their infinite wisdom upon you in the form of « work smarter », without actually doing anything helpful. Nothing is documented and there’s no communication between teams. Ask the same question to five people and you’ll get five different answers. Total corporate chaos.

Pros

WLB Remote work (which is slowly ending). Strong ICs

Cons

Poor leadership vision, strategy, and execution. Rebranding products that already exist as net new to chase a headline. Unclear career growth unless you are internally connected to “the right people”. Middle management that is there to boost their career / repackage IC ideas as their own with zero credit. RTO rollout was botched leading to senior sellers leaving. Lots of toxic positivity and virtue signaling
