Pros

Intelligent co-workers, laid back atmosphere and dress code. Access to most of the companies published books for free! Convenient location.

Cons

Executive management does not manage change very well. There is extremely high turnover because employees feel undervalued. Pay is on the lower side.

Pros

A lot of nice people and great books to work with.

Cons

Very antiquated systems. Sales teams and a lot of teams are in bubbles. There are a good amount of managers and higher ups that have been there for a while (10-30 years) and they don't like change, make their teams life hell, and keep them more siloed.
