Pros

Management and coworkers are friendly and excel at their jobs. I have the freedom to work remote when necessary and I am given a good work life balance.

Cons

Proprietary technology is a mixed bag. While I think it's a powerful programming language, I think it's hampered me in my learning. However, many people have made moves to other teams that do not use proprietary language so there is room to move within the company.

Pros

Great culture at the peer to peer level. Excellent learning opportunities, good benefits and great name for resume.

Cons

Pretend to be transparent but a lot of smoke & mirrors. Significant cuts to comp plans & commissions that resulted in challenging pay cuts. While salaries were not reduced the OTE is no longer achievable and it’s a difference of thousands monthly, can’t even sell stock because it’s tanked. That being said, we’re disappointed in comp and stock but grateful to be employed because It’s no longer a matter of if you’ll be laid off but when.
