Pros

Telecommuting is encouraged. People (most of them) are nice and friendly. Benefits are pretty good. Lots of happy hours to be had. Unlimited PTO is nice concept, but it just means you'll take less time off and won't even ask if you're busy, which is pretty much always.

Cons

Marketing is bloated and divided but has a few earnest, hard-working people. But, there's a group of untouchables that doesn't follow the rules and aren't accountable for errors or antics There's one leader who behaved so poorly, a VP transferred to another dept. Another exec. was a notorious micromanager and rescheduled everything--meetings, interviews, you name it. (Though I heard he left.) While the company as whole seems like a great place to work (just look at all the positive reviews here), a few bad apples can and have spoiled the bunch in the marketing department. They go behind each other's backs, they're rarely direct or honest, and even (on occasion), they lie outright. Something is very broken on this team, and hopefully it can be fixed. I have a couple of friends who still work there, and they really love the company but hate what's happening right now. Compensation is a bit on the low side.

Pros

Interesting take on customer experience using AI. Good pay for the role.

Cons

Favoritism amongst certain individuals and teams. I've heard that some sellers were removed from accounts just as they were going to close deals and therefore lost their commission. The messaging is that you can speak to any leader but that is not always the case.
