Pros

Great Execs (CxO) Good benefits Solidly respected products I’m proud to work there

Cons

No work/life balance (I think this depends on what org you’re in - for me there is NONE) Employee development is “self serve”. They’ve deployed a lot of self-help training but give no time to use it, nor any guidance on how to develop your career. Internal mobility = “you’re on your own”. My title about “Pretend Time Off” refers to how managers jokingly refer to your vacation time. You are expected to work during vacation to “keep up”. Look closely at their top line growth rate and project how the need to maintain profit growth will impact the future.

Pros

Paid Time Off is generous if allowed to use

Cons

Management is a disaster. Far too many Senior Managers that do not contribute but reduce total comp or headcount available for the real work. Talented, high-performing individuals leave in droves. Often when the company goes through the lay-off period, They terminate all the high earners in favor of hiring junior staff, who then leave very shortly. Very high attrition rate. HR is zero help, as should be expected. Failing tech with no valid improvements. Shrinking stock and market capitalization.
