Pros

- Competitive pay with great bonus.

Cons

Not sure on where to start from :-(. This company or may be department(Salesforce.com CRM) has many issues which are difficult to explain. - Incompetent Management - No work-life balance. - Micromanagement. - No flexibility or work from home policy. But on the weekend's you might be asked to "work from home" without any prior notice because of poor planning and execution. - No credibility for hard work - If you are good @ work you might be asked to work almost every weekend. - No roadmap and Strategy. - No vision for platform scalability. - Very fewer changes to enhance your skills and make credibility with business because the manager will provide a demo of your hard work and eat the credit.

Pros

No pros to speak of.

Cons

Only the inner circle is rewarded with huge compensation. The only thing important to management is to fool analysts into believing the hype so that the stock price will rise. No concern for corporate culture, employees, or anything other than paying the top ten as much as possible. Three things are important: 1. Buy an existing company 2. Fire as many people as possible. 3. Increase fees as high as the market will bear. This is not a real corporation, it is a private equity fund. Inept management that gauges customers and fights over who gets to fly on the private planes. A house of cards, ready to fall. Expect the NYSE floor to be sold to Apple to create a store.

Pros

Huge industry. Smart and talented colleagues. can't think of much else

Cons

Since we were bought out by ICE I have yet to see anything improve at all, the only changes we've had are negative. Vending machines have been removed right after ordering return to office. All facility repairs were halted (including a bathroom faucet that didn't work for multiple months and elevators trapping employees) While migrating campus ordered return to office 5 days a week. The office they bought is a giant faraday cage so their is no reception. Employees were flat out forgotten at the old building. Part of the "reasoning" for return to office is Jeffreys "feelings" about collaboration. They then shuffled us all away from our actual teams during the migration so i don't sit with a single person who is on my team. WHAT COLLABORATION? The biggest con of all is that the person who runs this company is a terrible human. fiddling in the government and married to an alleged fraudster. Black Knight was the better business. ICE are leeches.
