Pros

Great paid vacation time and holidays. In first year or employment, you receive 18 days of PTO plus nearly all bank holidays, after 3 years of employment, PTO increases to 21 days, after 5 years, PTO increases to 23. Great 401(k) matching. 100% matching of first 3%, matching increases for every % above 3%! Good medical benefits options. HSA contribution matching up to a certain amount. Great opportunities to advance and to receive annual bonuses if you are in sales or product management.

Cons

VERY highly focused on sales. If you are not in sales, you are essentially ignored and have little to no opportunity to move up in the company or to get a promotion, regardless of your accomplishments. Bonuses are strictly reserved for sales and possibly product management. All positions other than sales and product management are severely underpaid, regardless of performance and/or achievement. You might get lucky and receive the "Above And Beyond" (one per department) award at the x-mas party and get a $100 gift card, while the sales team gets an all-expenses paid vacation to the Caribbean, on top of their huge cash bonuses if they reach or exceed their goals.

Pros

Location and work-life balance. Friendly and multi-cultural team

Cons

Sales might be ok if they don’t think too much what snake oil they sell. Technical departments are a joke. A lot of really good professionals managed by incompetent people and projects run by really uninformed ego-driven businessmen. Claim to build a modern web based software, but not fit to it at all. Hard to push anything through. Would say that project-wise and process-wise they’re stuck in early 2000’s. Ruined projects mean finding scapegoats in tech teams. Except some small perks, bonus system and pay raise are a joke.
