Pros

Employee level culture is great. Smart people building great products. Decent perks. Decent pay.

Cons

Outdated legacy upper management making mistakes and feckless when challenged. CEO talks out of both sides if his mouth, saying one thing then doing the opposite. Layoffs are a reoccurring theme when the shareholders aren't making enough money even though it's a profitable company.

Pros

Cons

Zero integrity. A lot of people telling stories (lies) about their deals. Managers teaching subordinates how to play games to get ahead. Colleagues baiting each other into HR nightmares. Zero quality mentorship. Just rhetoric and psychobabble they see online. Poor training. Politics determine promotions. Denver leader unaccountable and does not lead by example. Meetings for the sake of meetings that add zero value to the company. Too much forecasting. Attendance meetings and childish behavior everywhere. Bloated management justifying jobs by setting internal meetings and spin circles without ever improving productivity. Alcoholic events. Intolerant of all religions. Very focused on Catholicism and Christianity. Bloated account teams providing zero value to the customer. Dishonest sales tactics. Laying large groups of people with no warning. Constantly see double standards. In office days are spent coffee badging and sharing personal romantic conquests. No accountability and commissions fraud. Slowly moving to outsource as much as possible to low income countries. Pay is diluted by growing account teams. Automated paid for marketing leads that waste time and money. Meritless promotions. Sexual harassments not equally judged. (double standards) Cost cutting everywhere. Zero security in positions. Treat their customers at beta testers. Spam sales tactics and the "numbers game". Horrible disorganized customer data and they have no idea how to effectively utilize CRM to their advantage. Channel conflict with partners pushing competitors products. Behind on industry advancements. Recording customer and employee meetings and calls. Many of the managers their got their positions by lying about their contributions to sales and revenue. Shady, borderline unethical, sales behavior. Personal ideologies affecting growth potential.
