Great atmosphere and co-workers

Pros

Great benefits, annual merit-based raises, bonuses, and company-sponsored perks. Beautiful workspace and a good group of colleagues.

Cons

Communication from higher ups (regarding terminations, big company changes) has been weak in the past, but they've taken in the feedback and they are making an effort to turn this around.

Pros

Comfortable office, centrally located Nice perks (office lunches, massages, exercises classes) Very good health insurance Good-natured, interesting coworkers (often hear discussions of upcoming travel plans, recent trips to theater, book clubs, office fantasy sports competitions, etc.) Diverse work environment (several bilingual and/or international workers) Very successful and stable sales as a company, despite industry struggles Just recently completed a company wide satisfaction survey, to uncover and address any issues As a small company, often allows individuals and relationships, rather than corporate policies to dictate - Accommodate requests to work from home (temporarily or long term) - Accommodate employee preferences (as possible) for workflow - Coworkers are generally friends after hours, and are encouraged to socialize across dept lines Ambitious coworkers; common for people to be pursuing higher ed degrees while working, side business projects or aspirations common I'm a relatively new hire finishing off about 6 months on the job. I'm very content in my position and haven't come across any major drawbacks.

Cons

In-house CEO so management decisions are made quickly - Can have very abrupt change in personnel - Sudden reverses of policies or norms In particular, poor communication surrounding dismissed employees. Communications with upper management and/or between departments can sometimes be rather opaque Like most companies, occasional clash of strong personalities
