Pros

- Many nice co-workers - flexible remote work environment - they leave you alone to get your work done, which is good

Cons

Where to begin? Senior management that is incredibly inconsistent: "we're in the best financial shape ever, but your bonus will only be paid at 50% this quarter" is their watchword. Too many managers; incredibly inflated titles - VP's here might have 5-10 people working for them, sometimes only 1 or 2. Span of control is absurd. Managers are in meetings 40 hours/week, which means that they never have time to manage. Company has stealth layoff's every quarter, whether they admit to them or not. Ethically, this company lacks - they need a chief ethics officer, or something like that. They pride themselves on paying average compensation and below-average benefits.

Pros

Good culture and supportive coworkers One thing that stands out is that employees repeatedly talk about the people being collaborative and easy to work with. For CSM teams especially, there are comments about low internal drama and strong teamwork.

Cons

Employees sometimes mention leadership messaging during reorganizations feels polished but not fully transparent. Career growth uncertainty during restructures: When leadership changes or teams merge, promotions and advancement
