Great place to Work

Pros

Lots of flexibility in job requirements. Over the dozen or so years I have been here, I have pretty much written my own job description. Small side projects became larger projects, become job requirements. I have not had a manager give me 'an assignment' in the last 8-9 years. It is a very self-directed environment. All the creature comforts are here: free drinks, breakfasts, Summer Outings, Anniversary cruises, etc... All the benefits that matter are here: 401k match, insurance plans, profit sharing. Respectable salary Being a worker-bee with no eye towards management, I am quite happy to do the 9-5, and not think about work at all when I am gone.

Cons

There is not a lot of promotions here. That said, I think people come in with weird expectations: It is not high school, you don't get a promotion every year. Realistically, every position I have held here had possibility of being a life long career position. If there are only five levels to each job, and I could be here for 40 years (a real possibility!), exactly how fast do you expect to move through the ranks?

Pros

Good management, good company, core values, mission. AE job allows technical people to learn about business communication and business.

Cons

People don't leave, and management doesn't shake things up, so there can be alot of 'dead-wood' as you get further up in the hierarchy.

Pros

Great platform for fresh graduates to learn A decent amount of freedom to choose what you want to do

Cons

Downsides of this role, well after a year maybe your learning curve becomes stagnant and you want to move out of this role. Unfortunately, the organization is very conservative, so positions in your field of choice might not open up at all. You are literally wasting half of your time, doing Technical Support and talking to customers who mostly can't get anything done on their own. More than half of the management is non-technical so they have no freaking idea of what they are talking about most of the time. Just smile and take it. Huge disparity in pay scales for the same role. If you went to a branded school, you get a lot more than you deserve, performers are not rewarded aptly.
