Pros

They offer some good programs to progress careers. Flexible hours (“kinda…”) Nice technology used in the cloud. Very clever teammates.

Cons

No work-life balance. The workload is unbearable. 2 of my teammates left the company because of high stress and burnout. Very tough approach from managers who just want to show good metrics to the upper management. So they rip off everything you have in order to make them look well in their metrics.

Pros

- Strong place to be early in your career as it provides valuable training and the brand recognition can create strong future opportunities. - Is great if you’re interested in what you’re doing/selling

Cons

- 5 days in office is not great for work/life balance - If your manager doesn’t like you, good luck! - 401k match is lower than most companies - Base salary compensation is weak compared to other big tech - Leveling/career progression is near impossible due to reorgs leading to a promotion “freeze” - Role can evolve over time in ways that may not align with original job expectations
