Pros

There is good work/life balance with this company. They are an industry leader and a global company. In some instances, they are willing to promote from within. There are many intelligent, hard working people in this company. The company and its employees are receptive to change in some areas. Usually, there are opportunities for cross-functional collaboration and company wide visibility.

Cons

The path to promotion and professional advancement is not well defined, confusing, and inconsistent. There is a tendency to overwork the best people by giving them additional responsibilities, titles, and requirements without giving additional compensation or benefits. There seems to be a consistent theme of doing more with less regardless of whether or no this strategy is realistic.

Pros

Good pay, although that will decrease with a new commission structure; great benefits. Office space is clean. Kitchen area available.

Cons

Horrible work culture; top management not present and engaged. High staff turnover. Senior management is constantly rearranging interdepartmental staff assignments, so processes and contacts are always in a state of flux.
