Avoid at all costs

Senior engineering manager

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

401k matching, bonus plans. But not worth it

Cons

Zero decision making authority all the way up through the VP level. Fundamentally dishonest. Zero plan for success. They aquire companies because they need to evolve, but then devolve the acquisition instead of learning from it.

A shadow of it's old self

Senior business development manager

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Great way to get experience in software sales,

Cons

Layoffs past 2 years so stability is not what it used to be. Constant changes to pay structure for BDRs making it harder to earn over attainment. Hiring freezes has stopped promotions in a big way. Average tenure is close to 2 years when back in its glory days, A BDR used to get promoted after 1 year. Compensation is well below market its almost laughable.
