Great work environment if you are not looking for the quickest pace

Senior marketing manager

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Great work/life Balance. Focus on doing the right thing, the right way. Very nice work environment in terms of buildings, gym, etc... This is the opposite of a start-up environment -- it is stable, there is time to think and strategize. Nothing needs to happen now!

Cons

Things move slowly at times and you will find a lot of long-time employees who are satisfied with that. If you come from start-up land, be prepared for stability and a more relaxed pace. This may be a con for some.

Business Outlook

Pros

Nice people, quiet, respectful. It is a terrific environment for introverts. The work life balance is really pretty good. IF you like to collaborate it is a good environment, although it it not really an open culture. If you also would like your own office it is good place.

Cons

Not a great place for those who are excited by change. It has a very slow decision making process and almost everything you do is scrutinized to the nth degree in the pursuit of excellence. However actual accomplishment suffers as a result
